Frank Keogh of BBC Sport wrote about the passing of the darts player Eric Bristow:

“Bristow’s dominance in the 1980s made him a household name and prompted the late, great commentator Sid Waddell to wax lyrical about this talent.

“When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears because there were no worlds left to conquer. [Eric] Bristow’s only 27,” he would say.”
