Although he became one of the sports biggest names, George initially worked as a floor layer and 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 , and to John Part in 1994 . Nevertheless he has won a number of titles, including the News Of The World Championship in 1979 and again in 1986 (defeating Rick Ney in the final), as well as the Butlins Grand Masters in 1979 and 1980 and the Nations Cup in 1980 (as part of an England triples team with Tony Brown and John Lowe ). 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 and with a very bad back, Bobby came back to win the match 5-4 in sets and reach the final in one of the most famous comebacks in the history of darts.
