The Life Of Olly Croft OBE And His Contribution To Darts

Alex Moss is back for a special episode of the podcast looking back at the life of Olly Croft OBE. Oliver Croft and Joe Croft, son and grandson of the late Olly Croft, both sit down with Alex at the Lakeside to reflect on the BDO founder's immense contribution to the world of darts, from starting the BDO in 1973, and introducing the World Masters and World Championships to the calendar, to taking darts to the Lakeside, the 'split in darts' and his 38-year reign in charge of the BDO. Listen to Oliver and Joe discuss Olly's legacy in darts with many interesting anecdotes, including what the Queen said to Olly when he received his OBE, as well as chat about Joe's current darts career and his aspirations to make his own name in the game.
