The Professional Darts Corporation is deeply saddened to learn that Dick Allix, one of the organisation's co-founders, passed away on Wednesday. Our thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends.
The Professional Darts Corporation announced that co-founder Dick Allix sadly died on Wednesday. Allix, along with Tommy Cox and John Markovic, was the driving force behind the creation of the World Darts Council in 1992, when the sport's top players broke away from the BDO to usher in a new era for the sport.
Allix, who was player manager at the time, became head of the WDC and was later given the position of event director after the subsequent restructuring of the PDC in 2001.
After retiring from the PDC in 2014, Allix continued as a manager, working with commentators Wayne Mardle, Rod Studd and Dan Dawson in recent years.
He, along with Cox, was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame in 2010 in recognition of his contribution to the sport.

- 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
