Bobby George gives simple reason on why he never joined the PDC: "No one asked me"

Bobby George was one of the first great superstars in darts. Yet the 76-year-old Englishman never played in the PDC.

George reached the final of the BDO World Championships in 1980 and 1994, but lost each time. Nevertheless, partly because of his popular walk-on (he always came on stage with a candelabra, to the tune of "We are the Champions" by Queen), he quickly became one of the most popular players with fans.
