It must have been very satisfying for Sid to commentate on such a great match between two players he personally plucked out of the valleys and put on our screens in the Indoor League. I wonder how many people realise how important Sid's contribution to the rise of televised darts actually was.
-
Two of the games best ever players, both no longer with us. RIP Leighton & Alan
-
Leighton scored 137 - 180 - 180 - D2 = 10-Darter. The marker on the board had it right, the person doing the tv-scores was wrong! and these two welsh legends phenomenal !!!
-
At the end you see Leighton has the first ever televised ten-dart finish. Amazing!
-
Great watch! Love how Rees throws :)
-
Its a shock and depressing to think all of these familiar names aren't around anymore, Leighton Rees, Alan Evans, David Vine and Sid Waddell.
-
In this event the throwing distance was 7 ft 6 inches, they started using the 7 ft 9 & a quarter inch throwing distance the following year.

2 of my all time FAVS here. TY for posting.

I went to see alun evans at an exhibition when he was worlds no 1, he was brilliant, such a short guy! wore platform shoes!
-
The dragons certainly love their darts.
-
Great game! I thought darts were supposed to be a lot better now but that was impressive, swap the board for a blade 3 then even better with less bounce outs!
-
Jolles ,, what a great venue it was
-
I think tihis was the best match in this time.
-
Alan Evans could be a bit of a hot head - following defeats, he once went for both Jocky Wison and Eric Bristow on different occasions.
-
Both brilliant
-
Anyone else notice that this show is aired on sky gold. Strange to see sky recognising any darts pre split
-
Darts was much better then, no false razzmatazz with the models, noisy chavs and stupid walk on's. The players could smoke and drink as much as they want which made the SPORT even better. Thanks for uploading this video.
-
It would be nice to see some action from the other matches. Alan Glazier, Eric Bristow, Barry Atkinson, Conrad Daniels, Stefan Lord, Nicky Virachkul, Tim Brown etc
-
