Eric Blunt Eric Blunt was the landlord of The Flying Horse which in September 1972 was in opposition to the Rovers Return Inn in a Pub Olympics contest . Among the more traditional hostelry sports of darts and dominoes was a drinking contest where the contestants were Stan Ogden and Johnny Owen . Knowing the latter ' s form , most of the men of Coronation Street bet " against " Stan and then , to make sure of their money , got him drunk the night before so that he was hungover on the day of the contest . Eric badgered Rovers team captain Ernie Bishop when Stan was late , insisting he only had five minutes to make an appearance , or a substitute had to be put forward , or his pub would win by default . Eric was the player for The Flying Horse in the darts contest and was surprised that his opponent was Betty Turpin and was even more so when she beat him . He showed bad form by refusing to shake hands with her and she called him a " male blooming chauvinist " to his retreating back . He also remonstrated with pensioner Jonty Chataway for putting down a wrong domino against Ena Sharples , calling him a " flat - capped old nit " . A flustered Jonty pointed out that he ' d spent the game with Ena staring intently across the table at him " like a flipping hypnotist ! "
