Alan Evans was the hell-raising darter from South Wales, who blazed a trail for modern-era arrows. The Arrow started life throwing tungsten for a few quid at exhibition matches in the smoked-filled pubs of the 1970s. He would go on to become the original oche entertainer. A British Open and World Masters champion, it was his short fuse and flamboyant style that made him a star. Dressed in the white flares of a Welsh Elvis, Evans dragged darts from working men’s clubs to TV audiences and international arenas the world over.

In 1990, Carmarthenshire-based dairy farmer Sirrell Griffiths, who kept horses for a hobby, entered a horse into one of racing's most prestigious competitions, the Cheltenham Gold Cup... by mistake. Sirrell had his eye set on another race at the festival but missed the deadline, and the only race left to enter was the Gold Cup. Trained in the mountains and beaches of west Wales through unorthodox methods, Sirrell's horse, Norton’s Coin, was gearing up to shock the racing world. Sirrell was a permit holder, which meant he could only train his own horses, so whilst professionals were training with 60 horses at a time, Sirrell had just three horses in his stable. We retell this true underdog story of the 100 to 1 shot that won the 1990 Cheltenham Gold Cup. With interviews from Sirrell and the Griffiths family, the winning jockey, Graham McCourt and renowned rider Richard Dunwoody.
