Download or read book Bobby Dazzler written by Bobby George and published by Orion. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bobby George first appeared on the darts scene, he immediately caught the eye: well built (he was the only darts player ever to be approached to take part in TV's Superstars), good looking and with plenty of bling, he was a natural showman. He could play a bit too, as he showed by reaching the final of the world championship in both 1980 and 1994. But that is only the beginning of the story. Before the darts came his time as a doorman at various East End pubs and bars just after the era of the Krays and Richardsons, when baseball bats and knuckle dusters would often come in handy. He also helped build the Victoria line. Since he retired from full-time darts, he has appeared in gangster films such as Dog, on TV programmes such as Celebrity Fit Club, and in videos with The Streets. Now best known as a commentator on the BBC, George relives the excitement of the last thirty years of the world of darts, with plenty of insider gossip and stories about all the most famous players in the TV era of the sport.

After experiencing the retail apocalypse first hand, and going through many general and personal challenges, a time had come for this retailer to change directions. After dealing with humanity on a material level, a self-discovery evolved from the struggles, the problems and all the adversity, leading to another path that was much more aligned to the soul purpose. In the meantime, a wonderful personal story had been created that was meant to be shared for many to enjoy about this small, local independent businesswoman who lasted so long in the challenging retail world.
