I thought he died years ago, I'm quite shocked to discover he only died at the weekend...

Jocky Wilson dies two days after turning 62
Two-time world darts champion Jocky Wilson died on Saturday night at the age of 62.
Wilson turned professional in 1979 and rose to fame after he claimed the 1982 and 1989 World Championships.
A Fife police spokeswoman told the BBC: "The death is non-suspicious and due to a medical matter."
Tommy Cox, who managed Wilson from 1988-1996, said: "In the 1980s there wasn't a person in the country who didn't know who Jocky Wilson was."

Dexys Midnight Runners even wrote a song about him - pity they spelt his name wrong :mad:

 
Aye I remember that lol, finding out it was intentional took the gloss of it mind.
