Wasn't very respectful to Williams either.

Paul Brown was at the stage side in a Williams shirt supporting Jim.
Glen gave a celebratory air punch and directed it in the direction of Paul.

Was looking at Eric's three consecutive titles.
He only lost 10 sets in all 3 runs to the trophy.

It is not really a comparable achievement, 3 against the Worlds best versus 3 against not the Worlds best. Not even close.
It is a good achievement none the less and I admire it hugely, however it cannot be compared to the great man.

Seems as though the BDO can't be arsed to update the initial schedule page everyone wouid bookmark with dates past Jan 10th, and the other official page I found only says "evening session" and the session is much helpfully linked the semi final reports of Duzza va. Williams. Professionalism whereever you look, as the name suggests.

No, No, No. Remember Adams 3 World Masters Titles are just as good as Bob Anderson's. The split in darts and all the best players leaving is irrelevant. As were his byes to the latter stages.

And when he won his Lakeside titles he had to overcome players of the calibre of Phill Nixon in the final.

Even for you that’s below the belt.
