Darts Legend Bobby George Keeps Amputated Toe in Vodka Bottle

Darts legend Bobby George, known for his flamboyant style and success in the sport during the 1980s, has revealed in his autobiography "Still Here! The King of Bling" that he has had four toes amputated due to a painful genetic deformity causing his toes to dislocate and cross over. The first toe was removed in 1999 during a procedure called a tulip operation, and uniquely, George was allowed to keep it, preserving the amputated toe in a bottle of vodka behind the bar of his 18-bedroom mansion, George Hall. Despite the pain and complications making it difficult to walk or wear shoes, George uses the toe as a conversation piece with guests, humorously offering a "cocktail or a cocktoe." The other three amputated toes were medically discarded as subsequent surgeries were required to manage the condition. George continues to cope with chronic pain from arthritis and a past back injury but remains a prominent media figure and television commentator in darts. His eccentric personality and openness about his condition highlight both his resilience and unique approach to life after professional sport.
