  Eric Bristow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric Bristow MBE (born Hackney, London, 27th April 1957) is a British darts player whose skill at the game in the 1980s helped turn it into a worldwide spectator sport.
Bristow had come across a raw darts talent in Stoke-on-Trent in the late 1980s and offered him 10,000 pounds to fund his development in the game, on the understanding that the cash would be repaid.
Bristow's form deteriorated alarmingly in the early 1990s and he was dropped from the Merseyside team (his third county) and the national side.
