I was on holiday travelling around Ireland in 1990. This is a great article about what it was like from Roddy Doyle

Had the pleasure of playing darts with Jack in a local pub in Great Ayton when he was manager of Middlesbrough.
We were both rubbish, both taking ages to finish on double 1.  He won - but I felt being overawed by my famous playing partner was my excuse.  ;)
