Episode synopsis
Alan Evans was the hell-raising darter from South Wales, who blazed a trail for modern-era arrows. The Arrow started life throwing tungsten for a few quid at exhibition matches in the smoked-filled pubs of the 1970s. He would go on to become the original oche entertainer. A British Open and World Masters champion, it was his short fuse and flamboyant style that made him a star. Dressed in the white flares of a Welsh Elvis, Evans dragged darts from working men’s clubs to TV audiences and international arenas the world over.
