    The former darts commentator has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

    Shame, good luck to the bloke. Hope you recover lad.

    x. Same point. A character who plays to his strengths.

    Sid's a total legend and I hope he gets through this. Possibly the best commentator in any sport ever. Too many brilliant quotes to mention but two of my favourites are:

    "it's looking grim for Lim."

    match between Bob Anderson V Dave Whitcombe
    "Bob Anderson, bit of a fitness fanatic! Big Dave's idea of fitness though, is lying on the bed with the window open"

    He's always entertaining to listen to when watching the darts.

    Get well soon Sid.

    Good Luck Sid.

    Anyone got any news on Brian Robson? he was diagnosed with throat cancer a while back, just wondering if he is on the mend?
