  • Cliff Lazarenko (born March 16, 1952), in Liss, is an English professional darts player who competed for the British Darts Organisation and the Professional Darts Corporation. Nicknamed Big Cliff, he is well known for being a very colourful character on and off the stage. Big Cliff made his first TV appearance on the 1970s television show Indoor League. He since went on the light up the darting circuit, winning numerous titles in both singles and pairs events. He is a four-time World Championship semi-finalist. In 1980, he lost out to Bobby George; the next year he gained revenge on George by beating him in the quarter-finals, eventually losing to world champion Eric Bristow. In 1985, he reached the semi-finals again, this time without losing a single set en route, winning the opening round against Singapore's Paul Lim, the second round against the Swede Stefan Lord, and the quarter-finals against Northern Irish player Fred McMullan, but was narrowly defeated in the semi-finals by fellow Englishman John Lowe, 5-3. He reached the semis again in 1990, but once again fell short of the final, losing 5-0 to eventual winner Phil TaylorLazarenko was one of the sixteen players who defected from the BDO to form the PDC. Although he managed to maintain his popularity with the fans, he never managed to repeat his performances in the PDC World Darts Championship, with several first-round exits to his name, and only managing a quarter-final at best in 1999. In other PDC tournaments, however, Lazarenko showed great promise: he reached the semi-finals of the 1995 World Matchplay, beating Dennis Smith, Shayne Burgess and Nigel Justice along the way, before losing to Dennis Priestley. He was also a Matchplay quarter-finalist in 2001. Lazarenko has being suffering from ill health over the past 12 months, and has now lost a great deal of weight. Because of his illness, he no longer took part in tournaments. However, in the 2007 UK Open Darts at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton, Lazarenko made a welcome return to the big stage, and won two matches in one night, en route to the second round. He then won another game the next night, before finally falling in the third round. In 2008 it was announced that Lazerenko would compete in the League of legends with John Lowe, Eric Bristow,Bobby George,Bob Anderson,Keith Deller,Dave Whitcombe and Peter Evison. (en)
  • Cliff Lazarenko (Liss, 16 maart 1952) is een Engelse darter met Poolse voorouders. Big Cliff maakte zijn debuut op een Indoor toernooi in 1970 en is daarna nooit meer van het podium verdwenen. Gedurende zijn lange carrière heeft hij, een reeks van single en double-titels, onder meer tweemaal het British Open en eenmaal de British Gold Cup en British Matchplay (1979) gewonnen. Tegenwoordig speelt Lazerenko, die viermaal de halve finale bereikte op het BDO wereldkampioenschap darts, voornamelijk galawedstrijden en is hij mede daardoor vanaf 2000 weggezakt uit de top 32 van de PDC, de dartbond waarvoor hij sinds 1992 speelt. Tijdens het UK Open van 2007 liet Lazerenko voor het eerst in lange tijd weer eens van zich horen door vanaf de voorrondes door te dringen tot de derde ronde van het toernooi. (nl)
