Hopefully I've given something back to darts, which has been brilliant to me. Hopefully I made it a bit popular when I first started; I was part of the breakaway, and I also created a monster, so I think I've done a little bit. Eric Bristow backbitebreakaway share on social
By the time I was 25 or 26, I would have earned a million, but if you looked in the bank account, it's not there because I've spent it. That's what it's there for. I don't want to be the richest bloke in the graveyard. Look at Elvis. Eric Bristow accountbankbloke share on social
In 1987 I got dartitis, a psychological condition which means you can't let your darts go properly. For a time, I wondered what the hell I was going to do if I didn't recover. But I remained positive and, thankfully, got over it. It occurred during the Swedish Open when I found I couldn't let the darts go. Eric Bristow conditiondartdartitis share on social

The Crafty Cockney had a picture of the owner dressed up as a copper, so I brought it home, wore it on TV and the name just stuck. Eric Bristow bringcockneycopper Change image and share on social
I was born at the right time. I was a freak - the only young player when darts took off in the 1970s. Eric Bristow 1970sbeardart Change image and share on social
