    Absolutely gutting. Playing in a darts comp earlier and the room fell silent when we heard the news. RIP Eric you will be missed big time.

    Very sad news big part of my childhood song as both my mum dad and brother absolutely love the sport and played it constantly in doors and in midweek leagues locally

    Remember having flights on my dads darts that had crafty cockney and a cartoon of Eric on them

    I guess the lifestyle caught up with him in the end

    RIP big man

    RIP. I was Bristow as a kid playing darts. He was the character everyone remembered, and some classics with John Lowe. Seems like my childhood greats are dropping like flies right now.

    Bumped into him once on a tube when we were playing Leyton Orient in the late 70's...sure it was the game we drew 0-0 and the point meant we stayed up....Anyway he gave these kids aged about 14=15 his autograph and all they had to sign it on was a fag packet.

    RIP Eric. Bristow and Butch a year apart in age, a week apart in death, both from heart attacks, sporting professionals whose livestyles could not have been more different.

    RIP Eric - another one, no age at all.

    RIP...really enjoyed the darts in the 80's and he was one of the very big characters of that era.

    Really sad news, some time ago watched a TV programme about him.
    I believe that he made darts become as popular as it is now.
    Fantastic personality, such a great loss.
    Condolences to his family at this sad time!
