January usually sees the BDO World Darts Championship played but due to a myriad of factors including the demise of the organisation, it will not be played. As a result, DartsNews takes a look back at memories from this showpiece tournament.
After a look at 1980, the focus shifts to 1981 and Eric Bristow once more was in the final for the second consecutive year. He defeated Bobby George to win his first World title and now it was the turn of 1979 winner John Lowe, a polar opposite to the Crafty Cockney to battle him for the title.
Just like against George, he was 3-2 behind in the final against Lowe but claimed three sets in a row hitting double four to become World Champion for a second time.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
