Personal Life
George was born in Manor Park, London. After leaving school, he had various jobs including as a nightclub bouncer and floor layer before taking up darts.
George lives with his wife and manager Marie and their sons Robert and Richard at George Hall, an 18-bedroom self-built mansion he jokingly refers to as "the house that Bobby built". The Hall is located on 12 acres (49,000 m2) of land once owned by William the Conqueror in Ardleigh near Colchester on the borders of Essex and Suffolk. The layout of the rooms have been designed to look like a dartboard. George is a keen fisherman, and within the George Hall grounds are well-stocked fishing lakes.
George has worked as an ambassador for basic arithmetic, touring schools teaching children how darts can help with counting skills.

“We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations.”
