With the BDO World Darts Championship not taking place for the first time this month due to the demise of the organisation, DartsNews takes a look back at some of the best moments and matches from over the years.
In 1988 the final of the BDO World Championship was between Bob Anderson and John Lowe . For Anderson it was his first World Championship final, after a very strong run until the final. He started with a 3-1 win over Bert Vlaardingerbroek and then defeated Russell Stewart (3-0), Peter Evison (4-0) and Rick Ney (5-0) without losing a set. Moreover, he threw at least a 97 average in all those matches.
He met Lowe in the final, who had defeated five-time world champion Eric Bristow (5-2) in the semi-final. However, it was not a third world title for Lowe, but a first title for Anderson, who took the final 6-4.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
