Big gap between 4th and 5th!

[jameshope]

Aside from Leighton Rees Alan Evans & Bill Lennard i wonder how many of them are still playing darts today

[Wilfred99]

Adrian Thomas is still playing darts today and in fact I will be playing in the same team as him.

He has recently battled throat cancer but still throws a mean dart or two.

Adrian Thomas

Played in two World Masters 1977 & 78 placed Last 16 and Last 32

Does anyone has a darts picture of him? And know something of a history of the player?
