From Word of Sport:
A fascinating account of life on the professional darts circuit. Focusing on Colin 'Jaws' Lloyd, a young talent struggling to earn a living and make a name for himself, Edworthy recounts his experiences of a heady mix of theatre, beer and skill, unearthing a world of hard drinking and unflinching competition.
From the Publisher:
Welcome to Planet Darts, a world where men are men, beer is compulsory and winning is everything.
Darts may no longer dominate the TV screens, but the sport is alive and well, if a little broke and struggling with an image problem. This book reveals how an almost forgotten world lives on, unveiling a hidden culture that will fascinate all who venture into it.
From the Critics:
“Edworthy's entertaining chronicle of Colin Lloyd's up-and-down season also constitutes an assessment of [darts]”
The Independent
“A great read; by turns humourous, poignant and gripping. Edworthy....makes the reader aware of how precarious careers in the game can be.”
