OBITUARY
Rod Booker (1963-2010)
It’s ten years since Rod Booker played his last County match for Sussex but
there are
still a great many players in the County who remember his prowess as a top class
dartsman during the late eighties and his comeback in early 2000. Sadly Rod
passed
away last month in Haywards Heath at the early age of 47 and the Sussex County
darts fraternity was well represented at his funeral at a packed St Wilfrids
church this
week.
Rod first signed for Sussex in 1984 but it took a
sensational season in the County Super league in 1986
to bring his talents to the attention of the County
selectors. That summer Rod won three major awards
playing for the Mid Sussex team, culminating in him
winning the Super league Singles title at Cloud Nine
Club, Newhaven where he defeated Steve Barraclough
of Rye in the final.
Rod was catapulted into the County “A” team in
September 1986 for the match in Newquay against
Cornwall and his 3-0 win with a 29 plus average was
the first of three consecutive man-of-the-match
performances that season. He continued to represent
Sussex for three seasons and there remain from that
time only a few of Rod’s team members still playing
County darts, amongst them Jim Withers, Mark Davis and Donna Burton, now
Rainsley.
After a ten year break Rod returned to the County darts scene after hitting the
headlines again when, as a member of the Burrell Arms Super league team he won
the Super league’s Singles championship in 1999 for the second time. This was at
the Dunnings Mill venue where he beat Brighton’s Keith Price in the final. He
completed one more season for Sussex and there are at least half a dozen members
of the current County squad who will remember him with affection and respect.
In all Rod played more than thirty games for Sussex, winning twenty five, the
majority of these in the “A” team.
He was a gentle giant and his memory will live on.
Sincere condolences go to Sharon and their daughter Mellieha and all his family
in
their sad loss.
