I’m not on Twitter or Facebook and don’t even use email. I don’t trust computers: one day they’ll all break down, and everyone will be knackered. Eric Bristow Read Quote
In 1987 I got dartitis, a psychological condition which means you can’t let your darts go properly. For a time, I wondered what the hell I was going to do if I didn’t recover. But I remained positive and, thankfully, got over it. It occurred during the Swedish Open when I found I couldn’t let the darts go. Eric Bristow Read Quote
When it comes to spending, I don’t splash out on fancy cars – I never have. I’m not a car man and, in fact, don’t even drive. Although I own a vehicle – it only cost £3,000, and I can’t even tell you the make – friends are kind enough to drive me around. It doesn’t make sense to waste lots of money on cars.

I was 15 when I got my first job as a proofreader for an advertising agency in the City, earning £12 a week. But by then, I was already playing darts tournaments every weekend, regularly winning the £50 first prize. By the time I was 16 and winning two or three contests a weekend, I ditched the agency job and concentrated on darts. Eric Bristow Read Quote
I was born at the right time. I was a freak – the only young player when darts took off in the 1970s. Eric Bristow Read Quote
When Phil Taylor is in the field – no matter whether it’s tiddlywinks or the world championship at Alexandra Palace – he is the man to beat. Eric Bristow Read Quote
Nah, I don’t watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don’t have the time. Eric Bristow Read Quote
Trouble is, I don’t get to play a lot at the moment because I’ve just signed a contract where I’ve got to do 200 shows a year in pubs, so the golf’s fallen away a bit. Eric Bristow Read Quote
I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I’m a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week. Eric Bristow Read Quote
