Only just read this thread, i was hoping he had recovered but sadly he couldn't beat the cancer.

True legend in the darts world, be sadly missed, my sympathy goes out to his friends and family.

1. “Keith Deller is like Long John Silver – he’s badly in need of another leg.”
2. "There's only one word for that: magic darts!"
3. "William Tell could take an apple off your head, Taylor could take out a processed pea."
4. “As they say at the DHSS, we’re getting the full benefit here.”
5. “The players are under so much duress, it’s like duressic park out there!”
6. “The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in, with a portion of chips... you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them.”
7. "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer... Bristow's only 27."
8. "Phil Taylor's got the consistency of a planet... and he's in a darts orbit!"
9. “That was like throwing three pickled onions into a thimble!”
10. "It's like Dracula getting out of his grave and asking for a few chips with his steak."
11. "This game of darts is twisting like a rattlesnake with a hernia!"
12. "Keith Deller's not just an underdog, he's an underpuppy!"
13. "This lad has more checkouts than Tescos."
14. "Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is a firm press on a soda siphon.
15. "Rod [Harrington] now looking like Kevin Costner when told the final cost of Waterworld."
16.“There's no one quicker than these two tungsten ****s... ”
17. Bristow reasons . . . Bristow quickens ... Aaah, Bristow.”
18. “Jockey Wilson . . . What an athlete.”
19. “Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength.”
20. “His eyes are bulging like the belly of a hungry chaffinch”
21. “Even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out these angles”
22. ”If we'd had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans, they'd have gone home.”
23. “Big Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is sitting in a room with the windows open taking the lid off something cool and fizzy.”
