Did he really join the BDO in 1970, aged 11? --MartinUK 17:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

No, good spot - I've corrected that! Seedybob2 20:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

301 World Record
97 seconds as the world record for a leg of 301? Some mistake, surely? I can see it being 701 or maybe 1001 but definitely not 301. 81.179.73.188 02:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

It's no longer the world record, but if you google around it crops up several times (independently) as 97 seconds for 301. It does seem some kind of mistake when you look back, I seem to think it may be 3 legs of 301 or something like that. Seedybob2 10:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Further to above, it looks like it IS 3 legs of 301, Richie Gardner did it in 98 secs Seedybob2 10:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Youngest ever winner
There has to be some doubt on whether Deller was the youngest ever winner at the time of his 83 win. He was 23, yet Eric Bristow was 22 according to his date of birth 25/4/1957 when he won in January 1980. There has been some doubt about Bristow's age according to his discussion page so that might be the reason for the confusion. Regardless, it needs to be looked into.

Darts used
75g? 25 rather? The heaviest darts that can be used are 50g, so 75 is very wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A03F:1239:1400:E523:BBFF:EAD8:2D00 (talk) 20:05, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Drinking of Milk
When Deller won the 1983 BDO Championship he used to drink from his glass of milk. He was seen by the Darts hierarchy and the media as the start of a new clean cut image for the sport. They saw it as a means from moving over from the dated image of beer swilling, smoking and obese darts players. This milk drinking stopped after a few years. Any more information about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.176.62 (talk) 13:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
