Jocky Wilson dies aged 62

[Glocko Shirts]

Died last night of COPD.
Seemed to have been the Hurricane Higgins of darts! Sad loss, characters like hime don't come round too often in sport these days.

Grew up wathcing darts and was very popular.
news indeed.

I just watched him on a re-run of Bully last week, a good guy.

A real shame as he was a wee legend. Never see his likes again. We were talking about him a couple of weeks ago and seemingly he ended up living alone in a wee bedsit and on the brew. So sad.

Does this mean eating pies to excess, washed down with gallons of lager can shorten your life?

That's a relief, it's a top attraction on tripadvisor

Certainly, part of my (probably) sunny view of growing up & a little bit rock & roll, in some respects. RIP indeed.

Living longer - Given a somewhat unheralded Elivis-esque lifestyle of fags, booze, probably dire diet, more booze & fags & a laissez-faire attitude to exercise, I'd say Jocky wasn't far behind what you'd expect. Probably enjoyed a decent proportion of it as well.
