Product Information
When Bobby George first appeared on the darts scene, he immediately caught the eye: well built, good looking and with plenty of bling, he was a natural showman. He could play a bit too, as he showed by reaching the final of the world championship in 1980 and 1994. Now best known as a commentator on the BBC, George relives the excitement of the last thirty years of the world of darts, with plenty of insider gossip and stories about all the most famous players in the TV era of the sport. But that is only the beginning of his story. Before the darts came his time as a doorman at various East End pubs and bars just after the era of the Krays and Richardsons, when baseball bats and knuckle dusters would often come in handy. Since he retired from full-time darts, he has appeared in gangster films, such as Dog, videos with The Streets, and even on Celebrity Fit Club. This book is more than a darts story, it is the tale of a charismatic and tough showman, who has gone from childhood poverty to building his own eighteen-bedroom mansion and picked up a wonderful fund of great stories along the way.Product Identifiers
