The ultimate justification -- were it needed -- of the comments I made last week about whether darts should be regarded as a sport.

The Lakeside World Darts competition was won tonight by Andy"The Viking" Fordham.

Fordham has the physique of a refrigerated lorry and a mullet the likes of which has not been seen since Chris Waddle teamed up with Glenn Hoddle in 1987 and reached number 12 in the charts with Diamond Lights.

Andy Fordham's darts weigh 25 grammes. Unlike their owner.
