[Archived] Sid Waddell

[T4E]

Very sad news on SSN that Sid Waddell has passed away aged 72. He had been ill for a while, the last time I read anything about it he seemed to be recovering.

Sid made watching the darts on Sky Sports a million times more enjoyable than it would have been without him, a lot of the success darts has experienced is owed in some way to him. Thoroughly entertaining and a seemingly great bloke, he'll be sadly missed.

Goodbye Sid, RIP.

'Wade is like a man trying to eat candy floss in a hadron collider!'

A sad loss for television, for the art of punditry and commentary, for darts and for sport. A great man.

R.I.P Sid.

Hugely entertaining listening to his commentary and irreplaceable.
