WORLD darts champion Andy Fordham is a delight.
He's 30 stone, a pub landlord who drinks like a fish, sleeps until lunchtime and goes to darts matches armed with beef and tomato Pot Noodle in case he feels like a snack.
Anyone who saw him on TV at the weekend could not help but warm to this self-depracating, jolly bloke who calls himself an "athlete" because he's been on Grandstand and wears trainers. He's a hopeless role model for the young, but he's cheered up the rest of us who firmly believe that if this guy can be a sporting champion, then anyone can.
