Nigel Pearson suddenly passed away last Friday and after losing the legendary commentator, Wayne Mardle and Mark Webster alongside Emma Paton paid tribute to not only a 'World Class operator' but a good friend.
"He was just a World Class operator, a World Class broadcaster. It didn't matter what the sport whether that be football, speedway or darts. You were getting the consummate professional," said Mardle on Sky Sports.
"I won't just miss that side, it's also the side when we're two pints deep after a broadcast putting the world to rights. My thoughts go out to his family of course, they are at the forefront of my mind that's for sure."
Webster also paid a similar tribute reiterating the words of Mardle that the family comes first at this time.
"He was just a great guy, we will all miss him. It just doesn't seem right that he's not here with us and won't be with us again. But like Wayne said the family are at the forefront of all our thoughts," said Webster.

- 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
