I was watching the darts last night and I got to wondering what happened to Jocky Wilson. At one point on top of the world but I wondered where he ended up.

It’s a sad story…

"In the decade before satellite TV, when darts drew viewing audiences of more than eight million and before Wilson's regular drink intake - lager chased by 'seven or eight vodkas to keep my nerves so that I can play my best' - had taken its grip..."

Looking at the build of most professional darts players today, nowt much has changed in the last 25 years.

Is it a game or a sport?

well if archery is a sport then darts should be. if it was only played at public schools and top universities it might get olympic recognition.
