Another great Scot gone. Loved watching him play against Eric Bristow.

Will be sadly missed.

Aye R.I.P lad, he lived just up the road from me in Wallsend, good laugh and a character, very heavy smoker though, sad.

I'm with Gizmo, the darts world has lost one of its biggest characters; and who can forget his appearance on Top of the Pops? ;-). R.I.P. Jocky

Didn't he sell a whopping 850 records?

I don't know about records sold teddybear, however Jocky's "appearance" was cause by someone who mistook Dexy's Midnight Runners song Reet Petite, which mentioned Jackie Wilson, to be about Jocky, and so, in the background as the band played we're huge pics of Jocky!
