Darts legend Eric Bristow loses pub to bailiffs

by Reporter, Daily Mirror 31/03/2011

Darts legend Eric Bristow has been turfed out of a pub he took on 18 months ago, owing thousands of pounds to the brewery.

The five-times world champion was a silent partner with friend Barry Birch.

Bailiffs arrived after Punch Taverns took them to court over £36,000 in unpaid rent for the Swan Hotel in Leek, Staffordshire.

Birch, who was a doorman at Bristow’s Crafty Cockney nightclub in Stoke, claimed Punch failed to sort out problems. He said: “We didn’t pay because Punch didn’t keep their end of the bargain.”

The brewery said: “The pub will remain open.”
