Now let's go back to where darts actually came from. The Premier League tours major cities from Newcastle to Berlin to Rotterdam. There are world series events in New Zealand, the United States, Bahrain, and Hong Kong. Darts is a global sport worth tens of millions of pounds. And most of the fans watching it right now have absolutely no idea what it looked like fifty years ago. Because fifty years ago, the best darts players in the world were throwing arrows in smoky pubs for prize money that would not cover a modern player's travel costs. They were drinking pints between legs. They were smoking cigarettes on stage. The arenas did not exist. The television cameras barely noticed. And the world had not yet decided whether darts was a sport at all. This is the story of how that changed. And the people who made it happen.
