Alan John Glazier (born 21 January 1939 in Hampton, London[1]) is an English retired professional darts player. He used the nickname "The Ton Machine" and was noted for his all-black outfits.

He now resides in Rochdale where he still plays darts for his local pub team.

Career

He was one of the first darts players who turned professional in an attempt to make a full-time living from the game of darts as it grew in popularity during the 1970s. He was one of the players who appeared in the very first World Professional Darts Championship in 1978, losing to Alan Evans in the first round. In 1979, he reached the Quarter-finals at the World Championship before being beaten by Tony Brown. Glazier then had a disappointing run as he went out in the first round of the World Championship in 1980, 1982 and 1983 - and he didn't even make it to the 1981 Championships.{{fact|date=April 2018}}

His best run at the World Championships came in 1985, losing a quarter-final to Eric Bristow and in 1986 when he reached the semi-finals for the only time - again falling to Bristow. His last appearance at the Lakeside Country Club was in 1987 - when he lost in the first round to Richie Gardner.{{fact|date=April 2018}}

Outside of the World Championship, he did manage to reach the final of the prestigious News of the World Darts Championship in 1979 and won the Swedish Open in 1978.[2][3]

Glazier appeared on the UK TV show Bullseye 15 times as one of the professionals and he has represented England 27 times between the years 1974-1988.{{fact|date=April 2018}}

Glazier now sells and distributes his own darts of the same design as the ones he used as a professional. These were originally manufactured by Winmau Darts but more recently are made by McKicks Darts.[4]

Glazier Quit the BDO in 1997.
