Former world darts champion Jocky Wilson has died at the age of 62.
A spokeswoman for Fife Police confirmed to Press Association Sport on Sunday morning that Wilson passed away at his home in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, on Saturday night.
Wilson, who won world titles in 1982 and 1989, had recently been suffering with the lung disorder chronic pulmonary obstructive disease.


RIP Jocky, a real character in the early days of darts, how the sport has moved on since the days he won the World Title.

We still always remember seeing his picture in the background on TOTP as Dexys were performing 'Jackie Wilson Said'

In tribute we shouldn't say he died at 62, we should say he nailed a treble 10, double 16 checkout
