Andy Fordham

There was a thread about this awhile ago. Pretty crazy really, especially as he appears to have lost about 14 stone from his face alone. The rest of him looks kind of the same!

it's probably because when you lose that much wait the excess skin and things stays until you have it chopped off guess thats why he looks like he does but you have to give him credit for losing so much

I dont think he had much choice as it got to the point where it was either lose weight or die. :unsure:

Oh my God! What a change :unsure: Didn't he have a heart attack or something though??

He was told that drinking 25 bottles of beer before every darts match probably wasn't doing him much good.

Fordham recovering after stroke Jan 9th 2007

26-stone Fordham claimed the BDO world title in 2004

Former world darts champion Andy Fordham has suffered a mild stroke shortly after being treated in hospital for breathing problems.

Fordham, 45, had fluid drained from a lung after being forced to pull out of January's Lakeside World Championship.

"He's one of darts' most popular personalities," said the British Darts Organisation's Olly Croft.

"We all want to see him back where he belongs - on the oche playing the type of darts that earned him the title."

Pub landlord Fordham weighs 26 stone and had eight litres of fluid drained from his lung after being forced to pull out of the British Darts Organisation's tournament before his first-round match.

"He is such a huge and well-loved character that he and his family not only have the support of the BDO but also the worldwide support of everyone in darts," said Croft.

"Needless to say, we all wish him a speedy return to good health."

The rival Professional Darts Corporation has also sent its best to Fordham.

"Andy has many friends within the PDC and we wish him the best of luck in his recovery," said chairman Barry Hearn.

"He showed his talents to everyone when he faced Phil Taylor in The Showdown in 2004 and I'm sure I echo the thoughts of everyone in the sport in hoping he can recapture that form and, most importantly, his health."
