      Actually that was the semi-final against RvB, because of the story behind the macth! th-cam.com/video/l_Ca5uim5L4/w-d-xo.html 2:55 it's in Dutch... But maybe there is a fragment in English

      As a footnote i watched this win at a long closed pub,on the old projector screen as i played in the pool league. 🎱
      I won,but that didnt matter as seeing Andy finally nail it. One of mums favourite players,she would have been so sad to hear of his passing.

    Andy fordham is an absolute legend of darts. The reason I play, and still use his darts to this day, to the legacy, he has passed on through him and through me, our kids play darts. Because of the big man.
    Massive fan, Sadly missed, these videos I can watch all day.
    There's only one ......Andy Fordham

    Darts players in general demonstrate great sportsmanship, but Andy Fordham was in a class of his own, and was deservedly beloved by fans wherever he went. To come back from 3 sets down in the semi-final against the number one seed Van Barneveld was simply sensational. He showed tremendous determination and self-belief.

    • @78bullseye
      @78bullseye 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      He generally was when still playing with the BDO, it wasn’t until the PDC switch that his attitude seemed to change somewhat

      @nathan2497 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@78bullseye Most can be sore losers probably comes to down to competition playing for mega money etc it can bring out the worst in most under the pressure etc.
      King is a very good player though I like his smooth throw.
