Autographs of Sid Waddell

Sidney Waddell (10 August 1940 – 11 August 2012) was an English sports commentator and television personality. He was nicknamed the Voice of Darts due to his fame as a darts commentator, and worked for Granada, Yorkshire, BBC and Sky Sports. Due to his joke-telling skills he was also nicknamed the Thief of Bad Gags, firstly by Dave Lanning. He was nominated for two awards for his work, and published several books.
The son of a Northumberland miner, he attended King Edward VI Grammar School, Morpeth, and went on to obtain a scholarship to St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated with an upper second degree in Modern History. At Cambridge, Waddell played rugby for St John's, and the Cambridge University LX Club, the rugby second team. Injury brought him to darts and he started the inter-college darts competition. St John's lost in the final of this in 1961 to a team of trainee vicars from Selwyn College.
Waddell went into academia for a few years beginning in 1962. He joined the Social Studies Department at Durham University and assisted the Professors of Politics and Economics in writing their books. He toyed with the idea of writing a book on trade unions but settled for folk singing in a duo with Charles E. Hall called the Gravyboatmen. They played on BBC Tonight and ITV locally. In 1966, Waddell joined Granada Television working with Michael Parkinson on local news programmes. In 1968, he moved to Yorkshire Television. Between 1968 and 1974, Waddell was a producer for over 600 editions of the local news programme, Calendar. He also devised the ITV network children's series The Flaxton Boys, a historical adventure series that ran for three years from 1969.
