It is with deep sadness that we have to report that former England International, Andy Fordham has passed away earlier today.
Everyone involved with England Darts passes on their condolences to Jenny, their children and grandchildren.
Andy represented England 34 times and recorded 21 victories, he also played in six WDF World Cups and three WDF Europe Cups and he was part of the1995 record breaking England World Cup team that won every Gold Medal, Andy won the pairs with Martin Adams.
When Andy was in a darting venue you always knew where he was as he would be surrounded by fans and players alike and the area would be full of laughter.
The darting world, literally all over the world will be mourning one of our game's greatest characters today and there will be some great memories and tributes for him.
Andy, it was a pleasure to have known you and someone who I will always remember fondly.
RIP Andy ‘The Viking’ Fordham.
