    Eric Bristow dead: Legendary darts player and five-time world champion dies aged 60 a

    Eric Bristow, the legendary darts player and five-time world champion, has died aged 60, the Professional Darts Corporation has announced. Bristow was at the Liverpool Echo Arena watching the Premier League darts when he collapsed, and was later confirmed dead after suffering a heart attack.
    The 60-year-old was inducted into the PDC hall of fame in 2005 and remained a popular figure amongst supporters of the sport, also working as a TV pundit for Sky Sports and appearing on ITV show I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here in 2012.
    Bristow was awarded an MBE for his services to the sport in 1989, having won five world championships, as well as five world Masters titles.
    PDC chairman Barry Hearn paid tribute to the late Bristow: “Eric will always be a legend in the world of darts and British sport. He was a tremendous player and a huge character and even after his retirement fans would travel for miles to meet him and see him play.
    “Eric was never afraid of controversy, but he spoke as he found and was honest and straightforward which is what people admired about him. The PDC, and the sport of darts, will miss him.”

    RIP
    Out of the pressure-cooker world of Pro Darts.
    Decompression may have been too much.
    May his flight be pure.

    Explains the worst PL match ever played today between Whitlock and Price. Not to mention whitewash 7-0 loss by Barney.
