When Whitlock was thrashing Ted in the 2013 Grand slam, Garry got a bit excited and was posting all sorts like 'THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE WILL SEE TED HANKEY ON TV'.

Hankey came back to win. And regardless of the win has appeared several more times on tv.

I thought it would really be the last time in the 2012 GS when he had the "stroke"

Hankey provided more memorable moments in a few appearances of one tournament than most players do in their entire careers.

Martin Adams who for years swore he would never play in anything that Hearn was involved in

Then sold his principles down the river and came cap in hand begging for the PDC coin
That was some turnaround

Without a shadow of a doubt it has to have been Andy Fordham's appearance in 2015

Yes hanky was ill according to his doctor, according to his manager .

I thought he was having a stroke as I watched it.

Anyway trivia: Robert Barone (everyone loves Raymond) has a dart board on his bedroom door. With those darts with plastic stems and flights I seem to recall
