The Limestone Cowboy — 1988 BDO World Champion whose country-and-western persona and powerful, consistent throwing style made him one of the most recognisable figures of the late 1980s darts scene.
Bob Anderson won the BDO World Championship in 1988, defeating John Lowe in the final. His country-and-western cowboy persona — complete with stetson hat and boots — was ahead of its time in terms of character presentation. He was a consistent performer throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, winning multiple ranking events. His physical power and straightforward style were in contrast to the era's more volatile personalities.
He won the World Masters three consecutive times between 1985 and 1987 — the only player to achieve a hat-trick of consecutive World Masters titles.
