absolutely gutted! a true legend who i had the pleasure to meet in person and what a top bloke he was. my favourite sid one liner was when bristow arrived on stage to play a match against phil taylor and had lipstick all over his face from being kissed by half the women on the walk through the crowd. sid quipped, "bristow looks like hes been mugged by an avon lady!" haha, priceless. RIP sid, you will be missed by darts fans and players the world over. A true working class hero

Gotta be one of the very few pages on Msn where no1 has got a dislike for a comment they've put. Goes to show how much of A legend this man was. Never again will darts commentary be so brilliant.
“It's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline”
Quality stuff from a legend of a person. R.I.P Sid.
