How? I wonder? I was there full-time 1973-1997 then retired. A fortnight later they took me back for two days a week which continued until 2012. Then I retired again - but the South London Press survives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the SLP did give darts plenty of coverage, so I can't complain there. Roy Grimwood was the darts correspondent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Grimwood was the darts correspondent. Yes, I do vaguely recall in my early SLP days darts and Roy Grimwood now. But it was a sport possibly 'dropped' in the late 1970s.
