John Gwynne - Inducted into PDC Hall of Fame in 2014
A legendary figure within darts, John Gwynne enjoyed a stellar career in the commentary box before hanging up his microphone following the 2013 World Matchplay.
John initially trained and worked as a schoolteacher before moving into the media, where he initially worked on a variety of sports in his native north-west, with his darts work accompanied by reporting on cricket, football and speedway.
His work in darts had included him being the voice of "Darts Phone Line Commentary" before he joined the ITV commentary team for early WDC events, which led to him joining Sky Sports ahead of the WDC's first World Championship in 1993-94.
A reporter for Darts World magazine and member of the Darts Regulation Authority panel, Gwynne has also been a local Superleague chairman, an exhibition MC and also a great supporter of both young talent from his local area and also of the Log-End format of the sport.
He is best-known, however, for his work in the Sky Sports commentary box, where alongside Dave Lanning and the late Sid Waddell he became one of the voices who broadcasted PDC darts around the world as the sport boomed.
John's career with Sky Sports saw him cover 20 World Championships and 20 World Matchplays, fittingly completing two decades in the commentary box before stepping down in July 2013, and he was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame in January 2014.
