"It was my first day down at the Online (Live League) and as soon as I heard the news I went and raised a glass to him, maybe that's why I played well. I was quite emotional really, same as Darryl (Fitton) I've shared a bed with him never mind a room when needs must especially with England I had some great times with Andy," said O'Shea to Online Darts.

"He had such a sense of humour, anyone who met him knows that anyway. Such a sad loss."

"I played with Andy in the pairs and we lost to Martin (Adams) and Mervyn (King) in the final of the World Cup. Great set of lads, till you spend a week together you don't really know a person but we had some great times. Good memories as well as being sad."
