\nColumn 289
\nDr. Darts, Trina Gulliver, and the “Brit and Yankee” Podcast!<\/b><\/p>\n
Good old boy Doctor of Darts, Patrick Chaplin, is at it again!<\/p>\n
He has just today announced the pending publication of the first-ever book featuring a female darts player \u2013 seven-time world champion Trina Gulliver. Called \u201cThe Golden Girl \u2013 The Autobiography of the World\u2019s Greatest Ladies\u2019 Darts Player,\u201d the book will certainly be popular among darts enthusiasts everywhere, and not just for the photographs.<\/p>\n
Also, on Easter Monday (yes, Monday, April 9) Chaplin will be the subject of a podcast on an AMERICAN-based website \u2013 the Brit and Yankee \u2013 run by ex-pat Phil Clark, now living in Chicago. The podcast will air in three parts with second and third bits following \u201cat fortnightly intervals,\u201d whatever that means. Check out the Brit and Yankee virtual bar website at http:\/\/www.thebritandyankee.com <\/a>for details.<\/p>\n Rumors that this later development foretells Chaplin\u2019s plan to switch his citizenship are premature although I do remain hopeful. TRINA AND \u2018DR. DARTS\u2019 JOIN FORCES FOR UNIQUE PROJECT<\/p>\n I am pleased to announce that I have joined forces with seven-time Women\u2019s World Darts Champion, Trina Gulliver to produce a unique record of Trina\u2019s incredibly successful darts career.<\/p>\n Shortly after working with three-time World Champion John Lowe on his autobiography, Old Stoneface, I entered into discussions with Trina and work began on her life story in September 2005. Trina recently told Darts World readers \u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed working with Patrick on this exciting project.\u201d<\/p>\n The feeling is mutual.<\/p>\n It has been great piecing together Trina\u2019s story. We met several times during late 2005 and recorded over twelve hours of interviews. Since then it\u2019s been a case of writing up and clarifying issues with Trina. Nothing – absolutely nothing – has gone into the book that Trina has not been happy with. She\u2019s a great subject and I\u2019m sure the book will appeal not only to dart players and darts enthusiasts but also to anyone interested in sports biographies.<\/p>\n Indeed, Trina\u2019s book will be unique. It will be the first-ever book published with a woman darts player as its subject. For that reason alone, the book must create a great deal of interest.\u201d However, Trina\u2019s book won\u2019t be the first one written by the lady darts player. Way back in 1978, an American darts enthusiast named Madeline Dolowich produced a paperback guide to the game way back in 1978 called The Dart Book but that was not autobiographical. Although Madeline was not a professional dart player, she did have some strong views on \u2018women and darts\u2019 as, of course, does Trina.<\/p>\n Trina will reveal in her book how she has achieved her amazing success in a sport where the men\u2019s game far outstrips the women\u2019s in terms of press attention, sponsorship and TV exposure and reveal much about the tension and frustrations felt within the women\u2019s game for proper recognition and reward. The book is all about Trina succeeding in a man\u2019s world against incredible odds. I am proud to be associated with this important project and to play a part in reconstructing Trina\u2019s fascinating, and sometimes disturbing, life story.<\/p>\n Undefeated in seven world championships, Trina\u2019s autobiography, \u2018\u201cThe Golden Girl\u201d \u2013 The Autobiography of the World\u2019s Greatest Ladies\u2019 Darts Player\u2019 is to be published by John Blake Publishing of London, although the exact date of publication has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
