Ahead of the World Championship, Jeff Stelling charts darts' remarkable growth in recent years.

Stelling, Bristow, Taylor et al look back at darts' remarkable growth

This week sees the PDC World Darts Championship get underway at Alexandra Place... and once again you can watch all the action live on Sky Sports. This year sees the 20th edition of the championship and to mark the anniversary we talk to Soccer Saturday's Jeff Stelling who hosted Sky Sports' coverage of the inaugural tournament all those years ago when Dennis Priestley emerged triumphant. Priestley also gives us his memories of that victory, while the likes of Eric Bristown, Phil Taylor and Keith Deller reflect on the unprecedented growth in the sport over the past few years. It looks like being yet another memorable championship this time around with Adrian Lewis bidding for a third consecutive success and you can see the drama unfold on the home of darts, Sky Sports.
