Whatever your opinion of the man, he started it all.

Thoughts are with his family.

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

He started it all but he very nearly destroyed everything he created

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.

The godfather of darts. Darts wouldn't have been where it is today without him.

RIP but too stubborn for his own good,thought the BDO was his own plaything,and the split has more or less destroyed the BDO

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.
