Back in December 1995, Dale played a Friday night game at Leyton Orient.
Bristow was doing the half-time draw, which went down quite well in that part of London.
On the way home we stopped at either Watford Gap or Newport Pagnell Services and there was Bristow, sipping a coffee, probably with his little finger sticking out.
Sad news. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

RIP the Crafty Cockney.
Treble twenty is really no age to die but I'm guessing he lived life to the full. |  |

Back in the 80s I worked at Carcraft and Eric came on a promotion night to launch the Lada Riva.
He took on guest's and staff in a darts exhibition and won the lot.
After a gang of us went for a meal in the Chinese restaurant that use to be on Smith St (the name escapes me) Eric was the star of the show. Very funny guy with loads of tales to tell.
Will be sadly missed. RIP. | | | |

Eric might have been Darts royalty and TBF not every celeb can be sponsored by Ferrari or Lamborghini but you know your place in the grand scheme of things when you launch a Lada. I would have sacked my agent. | |
| This is not the time for bickering.

Tell me about it, 33 years loyal service then redundant. | | | |

Always remember seeing him on TV in some documentary about the police. Cops got called to some pub where bouncers were having trouble with a customer and when they got there, it was Bristow trying to get in but they thought he had drank too many already and wouldn't let him in. | | | |

You can extrapolate back a bit to when you were born as the graphs appear to be more or less linear | |

Must admit I was never a fan of him. Calling victims of sexual abuse “poofs” for not beating their abusers up was what some it for me. |  | | |
