Q Tell us about how you started playing at a London pub, Robin Hood, 50 years ago.
A I was living then in Chiswick, London, and Robin Hood was the closest pub to my home. And they had darts there.
Q You have lived and worked in Singapore, the United States, England, Hong Kong, Japan and Papua New Guinea. Which was the most memorable?
A In a strange way Papua New Guinea brings back a lot of great memories.
It was my first time playing for a foreign country, and my opponent in the final was an American called Jerry Umberger.
We became friends and then he shared with me about the American darts circuit that had good prize money, and he encouraged me to move to the US which I eventually did.
Q What is your aim in 2025?
A I want to give it my all in darts as I know I am getting older and it is not getting any easier.
