Dark forces on the oche
Not all darts players embrace the everyman role like John Walton. Ted “the Count” Hankey went for more of a “clammy and mysterious” vibe, which sometimes got a little too dark for the usually pantomime surroundings of Lakeside.
Last week this famous clip resurfaced, in which Hankey converses with Satan on the oche: “Do I fancy double 12 or double 8? Who is in charge, me or the devil? I think I am in charge. Fucking cunt, double 8, shake his hands. Just do it, come on you cunt!”

Bit macabre for the darts – it’s usually more of a “four pint jugs for a tenner and Smurf costumes get in free” sort of vibe.
If you need something cheery after that, here’s the great Bobby George celebrating a 180 by ripping down his shirt pocket to reveal his dancing nipple. That’s more like it!
