My Take
Andy Fordham, the Viking, holds a warm place in my imagination as a kind of pub-hero champion. An Englishman from Charlton who reached the summit by winning the 2004 BDO World Championship, he carried the unmistakable atmosphere of that era of darts, all heft, presence, and the weight of a single throw. His 1999 World Masters title confirms he was the real deal, not a novelty. His passing in 2021 was a genuine loss, yet the image of him throwing under the bar lights endures. I am drawn to athletes loved for their humanity rather than their polish, and Fordham was exactly that.
