The legendary Bobby George is now 77, yet he still appears to be very active.

George famously built his own house thirty years ago, titled "George Hall," a large estate with a few fish ponds as well. After thirty years, some repairs were quietly needed to the house, and George rolled up his own sleeves to do so. "Day job maintaining the kingdom," he posted on X, the former Twitter.
The crowd favourite, who stayed with the BDO his entire career, recently gave the reason why he never switched to the PDC. "I didn't play PDC because no one asked me. There was Phil Taylor and his dad there and he came round with a bit of scroll paper to sign it. I said what's that he said we're starting a union so we'd have more television tournaments,"
"It didn't bother me that as I was doing work for the breweries and earning good money. I didn't chase trophies, you can't eat trophies can you. You can't go into a restaurant and say I just want to order a trophy, give us a bill. They'd tell you to f*** off wouldn't they so I went the money side."
