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.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
