The Crafty Cokney

2008 | Biography

Well this is certainly an interesting read if you grew up watching darts in the eighties. Eric Bristow was by far the best darts player on the BDO circuit and his world titles alone speak volumes. This book examines both sides of him, the ruthless darts player and the subtler and calmer family man. He lifts the lid on some of the other players quirks and habits and a lot of the time this book got me smiling. There are also sad moments where he reflects on the mistakes he made in his life and his family losses. From growing up in London to living in Stoke this book is a wonderful insight into Eric Bristow and the legend that was, is and always will be The Crafty Cockney. :)
