He wasn't my cup of tea although I do think a lot of it was put on. No one can deny that he was pretty much responsible for darts becoming a very successful spectator sport. During it's hay day it was wildly popular.
With regard to the sex abuse thing, I do think he was misunderstood/misquoted. What he was trying to say was that when someone gets older and aware that they did suffer abuse, they should be able to report it at that point and not keep it quiet, and in that context I think he had a point.
