Can this really be the same Andy Fordham?? More like George Harrison to me. He's undergone an amazing transformation since he was ill.

Yup that's him. Finally he's pulled his finger out and dropped down to 21 stone. No doubt his heart is feeling the relief...

He has to spend this weekend qualifying for the World Championships. He hasn't played darts sober before, and has now given up lager completely.

If he qualifies this year it'll be great...if not he's got another year now to get fully healthy and to achieve a modicum of fitness.

I for one wish him all the best.

He didn't qualify, he lost his second qualifying match according to http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_s ... 096290.stm

How much did he weigh before? The man truly is a legend*... and people have the cheek to say Darts isn't a real sport.

Indeed. He's probably lost more than most of us actually weigh. :o

I find his new appearance resembles Nicholas Cage.

ie he's probably lost more than 11 stone, assuming that is the average weight of the board members.
Unless you are telling the forum that you are indeed a fat bastard Sput?

He was 31 stone this time last year, that itself was down from 35 (when he went into Fit Club) and now he's 21... i mean kudos to the bloke 10 stone in 10 months is...well....superb.

I imagine you couldn't carry it all yourself, but I pity the poor individual(s) tasked with doing it for you.
