THROWBACK VIDEO: Fordham claims 2004 Lakeside World Darts Championship with victory over King
WDFThursday, 09 December 2021 at 18:00
With the WDF World Darts Championship seeing a return to Lakeside in the next few weeks, DartsNews looks back at classic moments and matches from this iconic venue.
Back in 2004, Andy Fordham was the victor of the BDO World Darts Championship reversing a run of making it to the semi-final on four previous occasions.
However, 'The Viking' made it to the final which proved pivotal as he went onto win it. After victories over Brian Derbyshire (3-0), Tony West (3-0), Darryl Fitton (5-4) and Raymond van Barneveld (5-4), he went onto deny Mervyn King once more.
Due to return to action at the World Seniors early next year, 'The Viking' sadly passed away earlier in 2021.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- 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
