🎯 Eric Bristow: The Crafty Cockney who conquered more than just darts! 🎯
Eric Bristow wasn’t just a five-time world darts champion, he was also a legend at the bar! Known for his incredible talent on the board, Bristow equally earned fame for his infamous drinking escapades. One of the most talked-about sessions? A 72-hour binge across the Atlantic with fellow darter Cliff Lazarenko that became the stuff of legends.
While jetting off to the Canadian Open, the duo decided to make the most of their first-class upgrade—by sampling all the champagne on the flight! Who would’ve thought a plane could actually run out of bubbly? 🍾 By the time they landed, our champion was splashing cold water on his face just to see straight!
This remarkable drinking marathon was detailed in Bristow’s memoir, ‘Eric Bristow: The Crafty Cockney’. Despite the heavy partying, both Bristow and Lazarenko showcased their dart skills at the Canadian Open finals on different occasions, even if they didn’t snag the trophy. 🎯
Bristow’s story is a reminder of an era when darts was played as much for the sport as for the camaraderie and character. His unforgettable antics and sheer love for life will always be remembered by fans worldwide. 🍻
