Tour de France has just started.
Commentator was quoting the guy that won the yellow Jersey in 1949 !!!
He said that earned him enough to have running water installed in his house.

They’re still not very big earners compared to footballers, top tennis players, etc

A friend of my Dad's was a pretty good amateur darts player back in the day.

The first big pub competition he won back in the '70s was sponsored by the local butchers.

The prize was 2lb. of sausages, and his mother was delighted as that was next day's dinner sorted.

This year’s world champion will win £1million at Ally Pally.
Darts isn’t a joke sport anymore.

You could buy a lot of sausages with that!
