John Lowe was light years ahead of loads of players in perfecting the smooth action and correlation to eye-line. In these days he was the equivalent of the top dogs these days and I can’t help a lot of people have improved because of watching John Lowe. A true master
I can remember watching this with my dad, I would of been 5 years of age, my dad being the Lowe fan and me being the Bristow fan, my dad laughed at me all week.
I'm an American and never even knew about professional darts until by random chance, I saw the video of John Lowe's televised 9 darter a few years ago. After watching a bunch of old BDO and more current PDC tournament finals, I think the 80s were so much better. The crowd actually shut up when the players were throwing, and the MC had a clear, powerful voice.
Lowe won 3 world titles in 3 different decades,also every final between 1978 to 1991 featured either Lowe or Bristow in the final interesting fact that.
Why everyone is against Bristo is beyond me. He's a darned good player. Past a certain age, your hands go awry, as did his. I'd love to actually see a yank make the finals and win. The Brits are the best, most of the time. After all, it would be like a Brit Football team trying to go against an American Football team in "American Football". So, I can simply admire British in darts play. The accuracy is amazing.
What a Match, quite impressive how they played soo good on that board with the darts sinking in all the way. I think they both would easily average above 100 on todays boards... They also both seem to not use long points which would maybe make things easier
its ironic ...the caller is calling for quiet between throws and the crowd quieten down while drinking and smoking goes on ..fast forward to 2022 no one smokes with water for the players and the crowds go bananas all through the match lol how times change
At 17 I lost £50 (a fortune then) on Bristow at even money here; stil upset about it, Eric was unbeatable up to this one, but was never the same after it...
If Eric wasn't in the triple he was on the wire wow Eric was so good at that time on today s boards he would have been like MVG but can't ever see. I see Eric s dartitist was just starting that's heartbreaking to see
I styled myself on the way erifc holds snd throws his darts pratieced 7 hours every day for 7 years in my room and it worked for me i eas unbeatable in my local pub

Proper quality days, both players and crowd!!
Two all-time greats of the game, going head to head in a world final. Just fantastic!

Eric Bristow my favourite ever player (RIP) - true character of Darts.

Yea today darts is shite
It's not the 80s, it's the BDO.
There are videos from the NotW championships from the 70s where the crowd is just as loud as today.
I love the cigarette in Bristow's left hand while he throws reminds me when I was '
throwing darts in my league at this time.
Yeah Eric used to say that about you. In fact I think he copied you! 😂😂😂
Lowe won 3 world titles in 3 different decades,also every final between 1978 to 1991 featured either Lowe or Bristow in the final interesting fact that.
If you count the BDO and PDC, the first 30 tournaments (1978 to 2007) featured either Lowe, Bristow or Taylor in the final.
another interesting fact: bristow and lowe used to share their prize money with each other
Class act John Lowe win or lose. So was Eric Bristow RIP.
Ahh the days when the crowd wasn’t singing the ironic boring boring tables chant every 3 seconds
Eric was a LEGEND RIP bigman
Eric relished playing the pantomime villain didn't he - when he gets the mixed reception at the start , you can see he is loving it
"crescendo at lakeside - lowe 5 bristow 4" thats why sid waddell was the best - his passion far darts was incredible
Loved Sid, much missed
Just my opinion. But for me John lowe had the best darts throw in the game at the time
Without doubt.💯
He sure did
Yep, cannot argue with that!
Yes definitely a sniper
Old stoneface, they call him

Closest thing to that was Canadas John part winning
lowes throw is super smooth so nice to watch, always a gent as well

Players more professional fans arnt
Two gentleman of darts
Very funny
@terrytownsend5583 How so?
@@redrum4100 nothing gentleman about Bristow!
@terrytownsend5583 He was a scamp, for sure, but all the same a gentleman. Did you not see him congratulate Lowe?
RIP MY IDOL ERIC❤
How great to see darts and cigarette in hand. Freedom.
Tony Green legend
Jocky 3 nil up in sets. What will Bristow do about that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s not present . You dum b f u. C. K
With John Lowe's textbook style, I'm surprised he's only won 2 world titles. I was expecting at least 4.
perhaps textbook the concept there of is irrelevant?
He won 3. And in three different decades.
Hes won it 3 times and was runner up 5 times. Must admit, he shud have won it 4 or 5 times with his ability.
3
He's won 3 dude 😂😂😂 '79, '87 and '93
17 likes???? Hard to believe...great stuff. Well heres another, 18.
Love watching John Lowe. Poetry in motion.
At 17 I lost £50 (a fortune then) on Bristow at even money here; stil upset about it, Eric was unbeatable up to this one, but was never the same after it...
Sid w. Not many mention a for him. The best

Sid was a legend also his one liners magic "bent the wire :
#BBCSPORTS WORLD'S OF LOWE NATION 🏴 🇬🇧
They only used one set of darts each. How peculiar.
Not like Peter Wright. He changes his nearly every single match. Still, he's not twice World Champion for nothing
Eric doesnt eat on match days. Just a couple of beers and a sandwich 😂
1:53:45 Big moment - Bristow misses three set darts to go 5-4 up. Then misses two more at 1:56:40.
that's where he lost it, he couldny put stedy Lowe away
22:02 The curse of the commentator
I liked Sid Waddell's commentary better
The crowd going absolutely potty (geordie accent). Only one Sid Waddell.
Eric’s finishing cost him here..
so did the dartitis…
@@anthonymatute6057he averaged 95 here. Pretty much as good as it got back in the time on those bad dartboards using short points...
The start of dartitis here for eric
I styled myself on the way erifc holds snd throws his darts pratieced 7 hours every day for 7 years in my room and it worked for me i eas unbeatable in my local pub
That's cos I didn't drink there
John lowe won 3 World totles
1979, 1987 & what year?
@@simonmallett9310 1993.

@@AllenJeremy Cheers mate

Cigarette
@@simonmallett9310 i am dutch sorry
@@simonmallett9310no thanks I don’t smoke
Not many 140s or 180s back in the day
John Lowe a.k.a "cool hand Luke"🎯🎯🎯
Eric s dartitist is diffinently affecting him, Sad to see
Smoking and drinking on stage like you was just at pub with your pals
I'm surprised they could hit anything on that crap board! Looks like it's been blasted with a shotgun
Not to dissimilar to your partners canoe
And a well behaved audience during the throw
