Back to Love Darts Talks to the Players
Love Darts
How old were you when you first picked up a dart?
Jason Clark
Pass, I didn't own a set of darts and I was brought up in a pub but still wasn't interested. I was 14, bored and skint so I made a set myself. 4 cocktail sticks taped together with a pin in one end and flights made from card, very light but good fun. |

Nicknames are a big feature of a dart player so how did you get yours?
Jason Clark
The Cockney Jock, being from a Scottish family and born and bred in London it was hard so the Cockney Jock was born.

How many hours do you practise throwing a day?
Jason Clark
When the shoulders fit, twice a day for 45mins to an hour but the practise must be very concentrated not just chucking.
Love Darts
What is your favourite venue and why?
Jason Clark
Ally Pally (Alexandra Palace), my dream was to reach the world pro, once done I didn't care so when it moved to the Ally Pally I wanted it. I missed last year so I made my mind up to get my shoulder fixed and return, simple.
