Had the pleasure of playing Eric at a charity event . . Needless to say I got a whopping but a true gent and a great sport! The original and the best. . Thanks for the memories big man!
Yep, got mine from Argos as a kid sometime in the 80s. Years later as an adult I thought they were long since lost to time and multiple moves and my partner replaced them when she bought me a board & cabinet for our new house. Then later somehow they resurface along with an envelope stuffed full of spare flights from the 80s & 90s. I recognised them instantly from the close-ups in this clip.
@@dazuk1969 Ahh mine are a bit Trigger's broomed now, so I couldn't give you an accurate weight, but the weights I'd noted on the chalkboard were 25g for the Bristow barrel set & 34g for the replacements - Eric's darts won 2 legs to 1 against myself!🎯📝
@@ManWalksDogs Well thanks for that, it's really weird as I was just watching Bristow talk about his Darts and how to choose a set that works for you...then I came across your post. Life is a funny ol thing eh. Thanks for reply.
That was edited. Bristow struggles to hit even maximums at the time..he came to rileys with deller for a 16 man comp.and was knocked out 5-0 by a local player.a former shadow of himself..a great player in his day.and shame what happened..r I p still." King eric "
As an airman in the USAF at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, I was fascinated with the sport of darts. And Eric was the man!! 1985-88 in the UK was the best ever! 19 years old...time of yer, kid! And this guy damn near won everything! 😆🙏
@@Phuc_Yhou When I got there, I was housed in what was soon to be the old barracks, because the two big new ones for AGS and EMS were just being finished and about to open. About 2 months or so... along with the new Chow Hall. Do you remember that? Then, in 2014, I went back and they JUST about to tear THOSE buildings down, because Rock Barracks was done. Some RA soldiers at the guard shack even asked if I wanted to go and see them gir the last time!! I should've, but didn't want to impose, plus I was on a tight schedule...
@@David_Watts we were only on the house building site doing the groundworks, foundations, drainage rods etc so didn't work on the main buildings. I made friends with one of the guards who took me to see the SR71 at Mildenhall in his time off, in return I took him to a real ale pub and the art of drinking pints and a kebab chaser 😂
eric bristow is a legend what made him number 1 was he was so cool under pressure, all of the other top players have had chances to win a game, ie lowe and jocky etc. he would just smile and say why didn't you go for it 😂 then one dart in his hand at a double to win the game and hit it. if there was ever a player who should of been called one dart its this man. long live king eric.
That's because he has had dartitis since 1986, he made a brief recovery until the early 2000s when he retired. The Tayor- Bristow game you mentioned was last April, whereas this was 12 years ago.
Eric Bristow was a great dart player also got a hand signed photo from him right before he snuffed it because I was meeting a friend in liverpool somebody told me Eric Bristow is in the pub five minutes later he kicked the bucket 😱
Obviously edited just like a Jimmy White 147 demo. That`s not taking anything away from these two stars both ambassadors for their sport. God bless you Eric you will be missed...
You get the feeling some creative editing went on here.
No shit
Brains of britian you arent ya
Personally I would have thrown T2O, T19, Bull and left the rest to the editing crew ;-)
Absolutely, the replay of the first shows the dart with the missing flight landed in the single 20 bed!

Still in total shock about his death
still can't believe he's gone
Oh well, guy was a prick.

Rip fella , a true character in the sport , brings back good memories watching the crafty cockney !
Legend...the two back to back treble bulls with John Lowe , was the best ever
Who cares about the "takes" needed. Taylor is the monster legend of darts, but The Crafty Cockney is the True Legend!!
err no
Rip To him
norman no er yes
RIP Eric, you were an idol to me when I was a kid, even got your endorsed darts.

@@ManWalksDogs Hi there, Eric used 22 gram tungsten darts....are the endorsed ones you have the same ?...just curious.

@@dazuk1969 Yeah no prob. Seem to remember them being tungsten btw. Prob with original shafts & flights they came in @22 or at least v.close.
I came here because EB is a true legend!!
judging by the cheer at the end, it took him about 501 darts to do it
Jeff Stelling was actually young once.
Rest in Peace 🙏 best dartplayer ever!
Wonder how many cuts and re-takes that took absolutely love Bristow he's just legend. Top Man
Second 180 looked legit.
Apparently it took 10 darts to make this
I've just realised the caller is Keith Deller.
Yes a Darts spotter for the PDC. Been doing it for donkeys years.
Eric was the readon i started playing darts, he was my ifol and a legend, RIP
Never be another Bristow , he was DARTS
I’m better than Bristow
All comments are so disrespectful. I bet none of you would win a leg against him.
milan slama I have ! But agree disrespectful comments by some

Do they play darts in the USA? I've been a few times and can't seem to remember seeing a board up in any bars.
@@justbreakingballs not so much. BUT, there are bars that are known for having darts available, but unfortunately they're usually plastic darts.
@David_Watts I worked on the houses built there during that period, about the same age too, good times 🇬🇧🇺🇸✌

Eric you were magic mate, when you stopped playing it all went a bit tame.
RIP master of the arrows.
Bristow was the best met him and he was a gentleman
R.I.p.eric

Kani Fuker what would make you think eric pakd jockey money to let him win sets lol
Kani Fuker it's called mind games like i said eric was the king at mind games
He was a legend in his own mind, however, he is now a drunken bum, resting on his MBE.
Met him at an exhibition match, top fella Rip eric
Rip to a legend 😔
R.I.P Eric😢
The crafty cockney a true legend. RIP Eric
Brilliant editiing here, we miss you Eric
R.I.P Eric!! :(

R I P
Anybody notice how many holes were in that dartboard around the T19? Looks like it took him at least 9 darts to hit that once...
R.I.P Eric Bristow :(
Rip legend
Great Player! Sadly Missed!!
The crowd went wild!
The man himself 👌👌
RIP legend
Legend RIP
Had a curry with him one night, Wednesday it was. RIP.
Top geezer. A real gent.
Lol....action...take 554. ..God bless Eric RIP

RIP Eric so sad
August 1, 2002 Phil Taylor’s First TV’s 9 dart finished
RIP Champ :(
Eric Bristow was a great dart player also got a hand signed photo from him right before he snuffed it because I was meeting a friend in liverpool somebody told me Eric Bristow is in the pub five minutes later he kicked the bucket 😱
no worries :)
First one was 140
good player
Take 47 :
Without Eric Bristow no dart today.
Darts have been around since the 14th century lol im sure they would still be about
What's the song in the background? Funky as hell
Nice editing how long did it take?
Second 180 was legit.
Would love someone to do a T20 T19 Bull x 3 - 9 Darter.
now days, he hits a 501 leg, with 180 darts thrown...
The Crafty Cockney one the very best
Eric Bristow was & is DARTS
The Greatest ever imho .....
And I see Phil Taylor took that advice to heart, because guess what happened the very next year? He hit a 9 darter
Obviously edited just like a Jimmy White 147 demo. That`s not taking anything away from these two stars both ambassadors for their sport. God bless you Eric you will be missed...
Jimmy got a non-demo 147 in 1992
I don't know how you make that out. The first two were in and then the third when in.
Only took him 501 darts and a lot of walking back and forth on the Oche.
The man at the end was going to say they do do it doe don't Dee doe
We'll have to teach them to talk proper.
Rip

#SKYSPORTS BRISTOW NINE DARTER DEMO 🏴 🇬🇧
Aye right
I thought he hit 15 reds and 15 blacks plus all the colours.
This is not snooker.
He broke and ran 9 racks of cricket, and he’s made more 3 point throws in tennis than anyone else!
He was a kinda big head but was likeable, him v jockey Wilson what a pair.
Even then, Eric was worried about his heart. I wonder if that's what finished him off..hitting the 9 darter?
Seems legit :)
Better CGI than Avatar.
omg! jeff stelling!!
surely that wasnt filmed in one segment?? flippin eck!!
i was did a 999 dart finish...
Editing was shit back in the day but... it was all good fun
More editing than a Scorsese movie.
