Tony Green is an English sports TV commentator and former player in which sport?
Anthony John "Tony" Green (born 29 January 1939) is an English sports commentator and television presenter.
A former amateur player, who played county darts for Lancashire, he was the BBC's lead commentator when they showed the annual British Darts Organisation (BDO) World Professional Darts Championship. In 2017 the tournament was televised by Channel 4 and BT Sport and Green was not on the commentary roster. In his capacity as a BDO official, he was a protagonist in the dispute which resulted in the formation of the rival governing body, the Professional Darts Corporation. He is also a former chair of the International Darts Players' Association (IDPA), the 'players' union' for those who remained with the BDO.
Green and Geordie entertainer, Sid Waddell, were the darts commentators on the BBC from 1978 to 1994. Waddell left the BBC in 1994, but Green remained until the 2016 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships, the last one televised by the BBC.
