Sad news for all darts fans, yesterday it was announced Sid past away aged 72 with bowel cancer.

He had to be one of the most colourful commentators on TV

Here are a few of his quotes:
"[He's] as happy as a hound-dog who's won a year's supply of Boneo."


"If we'd had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans, they'd have gone home."


"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … [Eric] Bristow's only 27."


"Look at the man go: it's like trying to stop a water buffalo with a pea-shooter."


"The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them."


"There was less noise when Pompeii was swamped in lava! Absolute pandemonium here! Barmaids are frozen like Greek statues watching! No beer's been served! Everybody's eyes [are] absolutely hooked on that board."


"You could hear a blob of vinegar drop on a chip in this hall."






RIP Sid, you will be missed !
