Should have posted this last week :(
Sadly Sid Waddell died last week from bowel cancer aged 72.
We all remember Sid for his brilliant darts commentaries which breathed life into the old pub game and made it must watch TV at the time, I should say that my collection of sporting trophies are mainly for darts so I love the game.
Sid himself had a pretty impressive CV away from darts, although he was a miners son from the North East he went to Cambridge University and had TV presenting, writing and production credits before his switch to Darts.
Footie fans should also remember he wrote the great 80's kids show Jossy's Giants :)
