The sporting world lost a legend in every sense of the word last week with the death of the Crafty Cockney, Eric Bristow.

The former world darts champion suffered a heart attack in Liverpool.

He appeared locally in the past and perhaps one of his last visits was in 2013 when the Morning Star in Tullyallen hosted him for an exhibition with his old pal Keith Deller.

A number of players got to meet him - including the great Keane Barry and Stacy McAlarney, so these are pretty unique images.
