Gary Anderson became the latest Scot to join the bonfire of champions at Ally Pally – after rubbing up Chris Dobey the wrong way backstage.
In another Jocky horror show, just hours after Peter 'Snakebite' Wright's reign was ended by Kim Huybrechts, seething Dobey completed a shock 4-1 win against the Flying Scotsman.
Then the Geordie known as 'Hollywood' revealed he was fired up to finish off two-time champ Anderson by a remark when Dobey – who used to put out the cones on motorway contraflows as a 'traffic management operative' – was leading 3-1.
