A Foreword written by Bobby George and is shown below

When Colin Saunders told me he was going to compile
a Complete STATS record of the
Embassy and Lakeside World Darts Championships
from its start in 1978…
I thought yes, mate, good luck!!

10 years on and he has done just that! and what a read..
if you ever wondered who was in the line-up in 1978 or 2000,
how many points scored over the last 34 years,
how many players went head to head
then this book or BIBLE (as I call it) has it all!
Colin has been involved in the sport of darts for many years
And this compilation has been a labour of love and patience!
Good on yer, Col!
