@@kingshearer2 Eight years ago in 2015 he said "John Lowe's action hasn't changed for 40 years." Sadly John's action went downhill a few years before he made that comment, but I take your point.
John Lowe is the reason I started Playing darts properly. He has always been a fantastic Ambassador of darts.A Player for the World of Darts to be truly proud of
That's the most unexpected and weirdest celebration I ever saw. Had to watch it back 5 times, plus 2 times at 0.25 speed, just to check I'd seen what I thought I had.
@@JasonMurphy1 you know your eyesight deteriorates as you get older right? Bones and muscles get weaker, various issues start setting in, I know a woman who’s not even 50 and has dementia, so age does matter in darts. Even the GOAT Phil Taylor says the same. As you get older you can’t keep up anymore, all the events coming thick and fast, and if he makes a worlds final he could be up there on a hot stage for 3+ hours.
I remember when everyone was up down the Tavern singing “Johnny Lowe, Johnny Lowe, Johnny Johnny Lowe, he’s got no hair but we don’t care, Johnny Johnny Lowe”. Happier and simpler times back then.

I think this was the vets tour, it's actually not that old. Not quite so serious as the PDC tournaments. Bobby would never have done that when these guys were playing seriously because he's never been that disrespectful
I was watching a darts doc tonight and Bobby was on about some player he played with a very dodgy throwing action. He said it was like he was throwing hand grenades at me....and....he beat me ...I was pishing myself what a character 😆
Lowe was a consumate professional. I remember his book where he discussed everything from throwing technique to the importance of diet and sleep patterns. He was meticulous in his approach and that bred success.
I enjoy playing darts, and I like watching people who are the best at the things they do, but how in the heck are there this many people who attend an event like this!?
John Lowe came to Australia in 2003 I got the privilege to play him a true gentleman of darts I actually won the game 1leg 801 I left him on 272 highlight of my darts journey
..it used to be ...-its not the same game now ... .That was due to the old fashioned british sense of humor ....-evil characters like Barry Herne and the royal family have tried to do away with that .....Theyll never beat us 😁
John lowe's smooth throwing action, still hasn't changed in 40 years ! Unbelievable talent.
Actually not true, these days his action has lost much of that smoothness, he rushes his darts now and has done for a while.
@@Wally-H i think he means as per this video but it's at least 8 years ago

2 absolute legends of the game 🎯

@Caolan McGuinness yep and I saw it live,wont him 100k ithink
a true great man ....no modern-day so called' professional' even comes close . .. ..Barry Hernes mercenary ways ruined the Game ...
him and peter manley🤣
i was going to like your post , however as it has 180 likes at this point I best leave it as it is :)
Brilliant darters. And what a show man Bobby was. Good times
That's the most unexpected and weirdest celebration I ever saw. Had to watch it back 5 times, plus 2 times at 0.25 speed, just to check I'd seen what I thought I had.
11 darter at that age on stage, just absolutely class 🫡
Now that’s the kind of sportsmanship there should be.
Magic.
There's no characters like these fellas anymore
Brilliant. Two legends of the game. That made me giggle.
A guy in his 60s-70s with an 11 Dart leg. Unreal.
This event was in 2008, right? Then Lowe must have been 63 years old.
a guy in this 60s-70s with a shirt that has a nip flap is more unreal

@@lucifersjurisdiction3636 well said. That bloke ain't got a glue
So
Bobby George, Britain’s answer to Mr T. Great Guy, could listen to him talk about anything.
Now that’s what you call sportsmanship.
Light hearted 😂
I remember when everyone was up down the Tavern singing “Johnny Lowe, Johnny Lowe, Johnny Johnny Lowe, he’s got no hair but we don’t care, Johnny Johnny Lowe”. Happier and simpler times back then.
definitely simple :)
John Lowe is the reason I started playing darts.
Bobby George is the reason I started _watching_ darts...
John Lowe was my reason for playing darts... this was when darts was entertainment
Cracking leg from john lowe. 2002 matchplay when he gave taylor a major scare is one of my favourite matches.
Yh quality was that 👌
BOBBY GEORGE IS WHAT I CALL A TOP GEEZA 😎👍♥️
Both class acts. Bet Bobby can handle his self to, looks a right hard bastard.
Your right I met big Bobby in 1988 watched him chin 2 bouncers in Birmingham, won't be another like him
@@robhardwick9559 I had heard about that night,my mate donkey dave told me. Lets hope he didn't break that beautiful bracelet.
Bobby George: the Ric flair of darts
Brutus the barber beefcake🤣
Bobby George will always be a master, together with Eric Bristow and John Lowe
dont forget jockey wilson some of his battles with bristow where the stuff of legend......................................

I Wonder how Price would react to Snakebite doing that to him.
2 legends 👌
The old guys just have more class, imagine Lewis or Price in this game.
..imagine the opposite ...can you see John Lowe putting on a covid mask and pretending to be ill .....- like that Bucket of Lard did ....😆😁
Bobby George was the ultimate Guy Ritchie character.
Baby George and Phil Taylor are both awesome players
Lowe is king. Old Stoneface rules!
Best throwing action ever John lowe
ボビーもジョンもかっこいい
I can honestly say I did not see that coming.
Great guy is bobby went to one of his nights good fun
Still got my John Lowe arrows. Must’ve had them decades 😄
That's when darts were darts and enjoyable old school that's me
Brilliant.
That was a great 180, but I turned blind afterwards...
So john lowe hits an incredible televised 9 perfect darts using pear shaped flights now using standards absolute mind-boggling stuff
Effortlessly smooth John Lowe
I;m amazed how far to the side John Lowe stands at the ockey
Great moments captured for posterity! Thanks for sharing!
Imagine if Bobby done that nowadays he'd be barred for life!

These guys are champs and i never played darts lol
John Lowe had the smoothest throw. Even more natural than Hankey, Scholten and Van Barneveld.
Lowe was a consumate professional. I remember his book where he discussed everything from throwing technique to the importance of diet and sleep patterns. He was meticulous in his approach and that bred success.
@@Wally-H Yeah, Lowe is an amazing guy

Had the privilege of playing Bobby. Smashing guy one of the best.
Well that was an entertaining leg! 🙂
John Lowe came to Australia in 2003 I got the privilege to play him a true gentleman of darts I actually won the game 1leg 801 I left him on 272 highlight of my darts journey
He probably let you win. I'll still be proud
@@royalbloodline5610 Still have got the signed shirt score sheet and the set of darts he gave me.
Cheers mate stay safe in covid times.
That was a tidy leg from Lowe.
Bobby George
Well done 👏
Ah the good old days 🙂
It’s so weird seeing him walk back on the other side
Good humoured sport 👍🏻
..it used to be ...-its not the same game now ... .That was due to the old fashioned british sense of humor ....-evil characters like Barry Herne and the royal family have tried to do away with that .....Theyll never beat us 😁
No wonder John Lowe never smiled, he has teeth like a burnt out fusebox.
Alan Binnie That killed me 💀😂
Hahahaha
Never heard that one!
Teeth like a bumble bee
Set of teeth like a burglar's toolbox . . .
lowe would still probs be in todays world 32 oom ultra consistant the man
That's the Lowe we now !
When John Lowe throws a dart, it almost seems rude if it doesn't go in the treble.
Almost but not really
The game doesn't have these characters anymore.
Tony Green commentating. Sad to hear he died
The blurred sign gives john a funny yellow hair do!
I asked my opponent if we could recreate this. It did not work out to well. She was not very happy
180 quick maths
campione senza età
Never noticed Lowe standing so far to the right on the oche.
Yeah I thought the same. Didn't think he done that in the old days.
Epic
Great dart players
What year was this
john lowe was my favourite darts player
Lowe is EVERYTHING Phil Taylor isn't. A class act and a gentleman
I hit a 11 darter too, exact the same way. I think i'll never hit another one
12 darter I my best..18 in comps. One day!!
Brought up watching these two legends.
Bobby getting the 180 just before John checks out.
Pure class.
Not a sport - Don’t make me laugh.
It's a sport for non athletes, that's what I say
Wot a chopper Big John
Bobby George is walking back from the dartboard the wrong side.
Who cares.
@@Zarkava8 it's the rules
Probably because Lowe was standing so far to the right it was easier to get out of the way.
Prime John Lowe will drag Mvg and MS
Two legends of Dart!
You got to love Lowe
My right ears is so lonely
Because of Mr Lowe ...I bought the same darts ...never as good as John though !
Funny was the wrong word, but impressive.
If Bobby did that to Adrian Lewis, Jackpot would probably offer him out in the car park later for putting him off. No sense of humour todays players
Legends of BDO.
I loved John Lowe, gentleman of the game, unlike these flash gits of nowadays
1min 52sec Janet Jackson
throwing like a brasser
In the beginning, they show Mary George. You could tell by her face, she knew of the nipple celebration to come.
I have to say, love the sweaty heads. Maybe that tells the story? lol
Quality 😂
this old fella looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😂😂😂
Hasta La Vista, Bobby!
Haha I never new about nip flap shirts I didn't expect to see that 😂Women's darts should give it a go?
FALLON SHERROCK 180 😍😂
Women throw darts ?
RIP Bobby George
He's still with us
I don't think George would've liked you saying that.
Peter wright throw look like Lowes now..
fantastic leg
an era of characters ..-very much at opposition to the more modern Game ...-full of boring non-entitys ...Pink hair and all . . .. 😆😆😆😁😁😄
Its darts ???
John Lowe great guy smoke on the water
What year was this from? Anyone know?
simon smelling 2008 Betfred League of Legends mate, 10 years next year nuts!
"ABSOLUTELY MURDERED the treble 20 bed, he had 5 180's in that match". 😏
with brass darts in a best of 3 set match in 1979 when they had thick wired boards, stop being a dick
The other guy has a better stone face imo
Which competition was this?
League of Legends 2008
