The great voice of darts passed away today at the age of 72 after a fight with Bowel Cancer.
I know a lot of people don't have time for Darts. And trying to tell a non darts fan what it is that makes darts great is usually a thankless task and a lot of people like using the phrase 'it's not even a sport'.
But Sid was a fantastic broadcaster who was unique and gave so much to the sport. Also he showed something in his chosen craft that few other broadcasters show - Enthusiasm.
He will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Sid Waddell 'The Voice of Darts'.
