Tony Green provided voiceovers and commentary on TV quiz show Bullseye - hosted by comedian Jim Bowen who has died at the age of 80. Here, Tony pays tribute to the man he "admired" so much.

I never knew about Jim Bowen until I was invited on the show. Jim and I just clicked straight away.

Bullseye was made for Jim, but he could not throw a dart.

I was a county player and helped Jim with the scoring. We never had a naughty moment at all. Jim was the star and he's still a star in my eyes.

He had an air about him - he could help anyone who was having a bit of trouble throwing darts. He was just a kind and gentle man.

In every walk of life I think you try to help people, and Bullseye achieved that. It was so refreshing and Jim was so gentle.

With the players, we used to have a laugh and Jim would say: "Come on, you can do it," and they did do it.

He could see when they were getting dodgy or shaky and he would help them out.

He was a lovely man, a lovely man.

I admired him so much. Jim and I, we just blended.

We supported each other. I fell for him straight away and I knew I was into something good. And I wanted to keep it. To the viewers, I think it felt so warm.

The show was the same. He didn't show himself up on any occasion.

After the show we used to go in a little room, sit down and say: "How did it go?"

We'd say: "We can do this, Jim, we can do that, Jim," and he listened when most stars don't.

That was the gift, and I think it reached the viewers and the players.
