John Harms, P.J. Flynn and all lovers of fine sports commentary mourn the passing of Sid Waddell, son of a coal-miner, Cambridge history graduate, novelist and lover of language. Darts will never be the same.
Here is a tribute:
and from The Guardian:

My favourite ‘mathematical’ quotes from Sid:
‘Even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out these angles.’
‘I’m not Copernicus, but I reckon the planets will be in Taylor’s favour.’
‘Taylor’s maths could improve Fermat’s last theorem.’
Magic darts Sid.

Just one word – magic darts
He will be missed.
