With the BDO World Darts Championship not taking place due to the demise of the organisation, DartsNews takes a look back at some of the best moments in the history of the showpiece event which would usually take place in January.
1979's edition of the World Championship was held at Jollees Cabaret Club in Stoke-on-Trent and it saw John Lowe and Leighton Rees face off once more in the final.
Rees became the first champion in 1978 but this time around it was Lowe who became World Champion with a 5-0 win which saw him claim £4,500.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
