A funny film with great One liners & a great Soundtrack. The Best gangster movie to come out in a long time. They should do a Sequel.
Biography: Bobby George
[Top]
Bobby George is a darts player & pundit, who is known as one of the leading characters in the game for his flamboyant entrances & many medallions & rings. Although he became one of the sports biggest names, George initially worked as a builder & did not actually take up darts until the age of 29. He has famously never won the World Professional Darts Championship, losing the 1980 final against Eric Bristow & to John Part in 1994. Nevertheless he has won a number of titles, including the News of the World Championship in 1979 & again in 1986, as well as the Butlins Grand Masters in 1979 & 1980 & the Nations Cup in 1980. His profile as a darts player has fallen off in recent years, although he still takes part in the qualifying rounds for the World Championships. His most memorable World Championship moment came in 1994, when going down 4-1 to Sweden s Magnus Caris & with a very bad back, Bobby came back to win the match 5-4 in sets & reach the final in one of the most famous comebacks in the history of darts.
