R.I.P Olly Croft
Whatever your opinion of the man, he started it all.
Thoughts are with his family.

Indeed he did, RIP Olly.
Re: R.I.P Olly Croft
Brought professional darts to the masses and created a product for the television screen.
Rest in peace Olly and condolences to his family.

Did so much to put darts at the forefront, however was responsible for the split. Still his achievements have to be remembered. A sad day for darts

A massive figure in bringing darts to mass TV audiences and despite his stoic views that nearly strangled the televised game in the early 90s he should be remembered for the important positive achievements he gave and brought to darts. RIP.

I’m not old enough to experience what went on at the time, but pretty obvious that he was a big player in the world of darts.
