Andy Fordham finally ended a 10-year wait for the top prize in darts when he defeated Mervyn King in the final of the Lakeside World Championship. The 41-year-old is a former Winmau World Masters champion but it is the British Darts Organisation's premier tournament which has been his main target for a decade.
Many people questioned whether the gentle giant would have recovered in time following his stunning comeback victory over three-time champion Raymond van Barneveld just 24 hours ago.
But 'The Viking' produced the performance of his life to seal a six-sets-to-three win over the number three seed.
