Eric Bristow Quotations

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.

Any sport where people earn a lot of money you are going to get groupies.

It took me about 10 years to get rid of. I'm all right now, though, lovely, I'm throwing some nice darts at the moment, but every now and then I get a bit of a jump. I wish I could find a cure, I'd make a bloody fortune.

I knew I didn't want to be stuck in Stoke Newington for the rest of my life, hanging about with idiots. That wasn't for me. I wanted to go out and have a look around.

My dad bought me a dartboard for my 11th birthday, and I became intrigued by the game.

Mark my words, Michael Van Gerwen will knock Phil Taylor off his perch one day and be the best darts player on the planet.

It's all right buying all these good players but they've got to gel, and that takes time.

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.

You can't drink too many otherwise you can't see what you're throwing at.

I love cheese and biscuits, the stronger the better.
