All this cuddling and kissing on stage these days, well it's all right in football when someone scores a goal, but not when you're playing darts.

From Eric Bristow

In 1987 I got dartitis, a psychological condition which means you can't let your darts go properly. For a time, I wondered what the hell I was going to do if I didn't recover. But I remained positive and, thankfully, got over it. It occurred during the Swedish Open when I found I couldn't let the darts go.

From Eric Bristow

It's all right buying all these good players but they've got to gel, and that takes time.

From Eric Bristow

I remember when we were in the World Cup in Australia and I had to win the singles against Tony Payne, best of seven legs, to win it. I was 2-0 down but ended up beating him 4-2.

From Eric Bristow

It took me about 10 years to get rid of. I'm all right now, though, lovely, I'm throwing some nice darts at the moment, but every now and then I get a bit of a jump. I wish I could find a cure, I'd make a bloody fortune.

From Eric Bristow

I knew I didn't want to be stuck in Stoke Newington for the rest of my life, hanging about with idiots. That wasn't for me. I wanted to go out and have a look around.

From Eric Bristow

I was born at the right time. I was a freak - the only young player when darts took off in the 1970s.

From Eric Bristow

My dad bought me a dartboard for my 11th birthday, and I became intrigued by the game.

From Eric Bristow

I'm not on Twitter or Facebook and don't even use email. I don't trust computers: one day they'll all break down, and everyone will be knackered.

From Eric Bristow

I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.
