"It's a bitter pill to swallow but I'm a realist": Bob Anderson set for one last rodeo at the World Seniors Darts Masters
WSDTThursday, 01 June 2023 at 18:00
One of the most iconic figures in darting history, the 1988 World Darts Champion, Bob Anderson is set for one rodeo as 'the Limestone Cowboy' takes part in the final competition of his legendary career at the World Seniors Darts Masters.
"It was a difficult decision, I have to be honest," admits the 75-year-old in an interview with Live Darts YouTube channel. "Not one that I really wanted to make and one that I've probably been putting off for about a year. But I realised I'm no longer as competitive as I want to be or used to be."
"It's a bitter pill to swallow but I'm a realist," Anderson continues. Peaking in 1988 as he beat John Lowe 6-4 at Lakeside to claim the World Darts Championship, Anderson was one of the founding members of the PDC in 1993 and stayed on the professional tour until 2008.
"I'm giving 25 years to some of my opponents and I've not been playing top, competitive darts since I turned 60. It really has become very difficult to compete at the level I want to compete. So it was the right time to stop."

- 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

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
