1990 - Issue 215: To Russia They Flew.

By DW Editorial Staff 19/07/2020

Again, it seems that darter's were quick to reach out across the globe. With things changing fast, in the USSR, this seems a timely effort to build darting bridges and extend a friendly hand.The inclusion of Steve Brown (the USA's major winner) seems especially poignant:

The Darts World 50

Very few publications can lay claim to being “The Official Voice” of their sport. But then not many are almost 50 years old and have coexisted side by side with the object of their affection throughout the swings and roundabouts of two golden eras and at least one near collapse.

In the early 1970s, a handful of ingredients were coming together to form the recipe for the massive success of the hitherto lesser-known pub game. Darts World Magazine was one of those ingredients.

Editor, proprietor, and instigator, Tony Wood, welcomed readers to the new Darts World magazine for our November/December 1972 debut (Issue 1). The ingredients mentioned above could all be seen within those first 36 pages and then in every issue that followed.

DW has chronicled the ups and downs, the major events, and the minutiae while championing the game at every opportunity.

The Darts World 50 offers 50 highlights selected direct from our pages during what must now be thought of as the ‘Golden Age/s of Darts’.

The Darts World 50 are available to order (Here) from November 15th 2022. Very limited stock.
