John Lowe was light years ahead of loads of players in perfecting the smooth action and correlation to eye-line. In these days he was the equivalent of the top dogs these days and I can’t help a lot of people have improved because of watching John Lowe. A true master
I'm an American and never even knew about professional darts until by random chance, I saw the video of John Lowe's televised 9 darter a few years ago. After watching a bunch of old BDO and more current PDC tournament finals, I think the 80s were so much better. The crowd actually shut up when the players were throwing, and the MC had a clear, powerful voice.
Lowe won 3 world titles in 3 different decades,also every final between 1978 to 1991 featured either Lowe or Bristow in the final interesting fact that.
its ironic ...the caller is calling for quiet between throws and the crowd quieten down while drinking and smoking goes on ..fast forward to 2022 no one smokes with water for the players and the crowds go bananas all through the match lol how times change
I styled myself on the way erifc holds snd throws his darts pratieced 7 hours every day for 7 years in my room and it worked for me i eas unbeatable in my local pub
If Eric wasn't in the triple he was on the wire wow Eric was so good at that time on today s boards he would have been like MVG but can't ever see. I see Eric s dartitist was just starting that's heartbreaking to see
At 17 I lost £50 (a fortune then) on Bristow at even money here; stil upset about it, Eric was unbeatable up to this one, but was never the same after it...
Eric would have been banned and fined today showing the Union Jack flag on his shirt and his dart flights. Oh, how times have changed…..for the very worst

Proper quality days, both players and crowd!!
I love the cigarette in Bristow's left hand while he throws reminds me when I was '
throwing darts in my league at this time.

If you count the BDO and PDC, the first 30 tournaments (1978 to 2007) featured either Lowe, Bristow or Taylor in the final.
Ahh the days when the crowd wasn’t singing the ironic boring boring tables chant every 3 seconds
Eric relished playing the pantomime villain didn't he - when he gets the mixed reception at the start , you can see he is loving it
"crescendo at lakeside - lowe 5 bristow 4" thats why sid waddell was the best - his passion far darts was incredible
Loved Sid, much missed
Eric was a LEGEND RIP bigman
Two gentleman of darts
Class act John Lowe win or lose. So was Eric Bristow RIP.

Players more professional fans arnt
How great to see darts and cigarette in hand. Freedom.
Just my opinion. But for me John lowe had the best darts throw in the game at the time
Without doubt.💯
He sure did
Yep, cannot argue with that!
Yes definitely a sniper
Old stoneface, they call him
Tony Green legend
Jocky 3 nil up in sets. What will Bristow do about that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP MY IDOL ERIC❤
17 likes???? Hard to believe...great stuff. Well heres another, 18.
Love watching John Lowe. Poetry in motion.
lowes throw is super smooth so nice to watch, always a gent as well
With John Lowe's textbook style, I'm surprised he's only won 2 world titles. I was expecting at least 4.
perhaps textbook the concept there of is irrelevant?
He won 3. And in three different decades.
Hes won it 3 times and was runner up 5 times. Must admit, he shud have won it 4 or 5 times with his ability.
3
He's won 3 dude 😂😂😂 '79, '87 and '93
#BBCSPORTS WORLD'S OF LOWE NATION 🏴 🇬🇧
They only used one set of darts each. How peculiar.
Not like Peter Wright. He changes his nearly every single match. Still, he's not twice World Champion for nothing
Eric’s finishing cost him here..
so did the dartitis…

That's cos I didn't drink there

Sid was a legend also his one liners magic "bent the wire :
Eric doesnt eat on match days. Just a couple of beers and a sandwich 😂

Not many 140s or 180s back in the day
John lowe won 3 World totles
1979, 1987 & what year?
@@simonmallett9310 1993.

@@AllenJeremy Cheers mate

Cigarette
@@simonmallett9310 i am dutch sorry
@@simonmallett9310no thanks I don’t smoke
1:53:45 Big moment - Bristow misses three set darts to go 5-4 up. Then misses two more at 1:56:40.
that's where he lost it, he couldny put stedy Lowe away
I liked Sid Waddell's commentary better
The crowd going absolutely potty (geordie accent). Only one Sid Waddell.
Eric s dartitist is diffinently affecting him, Sad to see
John Lowe a.k.a "cool hand Luke"🎯🎯🎯
Smoking and drinking on stage like you was just at pub with your pals
And a well behaved audience during the throw
I'm surprised they could hit anything on that crap board! Looks like it's been blasted with a shotgun
Eric would have been banned and fined today showing the Union Jack flag on his shirt and his dart flights. Oh, how times have changed…..for the very worst
yes, it's a absurd . a England can't use a colonialist symbol of plunder, murderer and exploration anymore
james wade is using union jack flights and has been doing so for literally 20 years, you absolute clown shoe licker
