he was back commentating only a while ago, it looked like he had made a recovery.Some of his lines were classics.
"Andy Fordham is looking like a hippo in a power shower"
"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer... Bristow's only 27"

Absolutely great commentator. Some of his lines were just genius.
He has checked out for the last time.

ah come on lads, i know he's dead but let's be fair, he was a terrible commentator and just because he's dead cannot change that. He used to come out with some proper nonsense and his style where he would whisper the first half a sentence and scream out the rest was very annoying. I often turned off the sound because of him. I am sure he turned many people off darts.
He was a very nice man, knew a huge amount about darts but how was he ever left as a commentator?

Agree, he drove me mad at times,
he'd come out with some funny statements but his general style was just to talk gibberish,
RIP all the same

RIP Sid, also a major figure in the breakaway from the BDO, top commmentator too, huge loss for Darts.
