Michael Smith considered booting family out of crowd during Grand Slam final win

Michael Smith debated kicking his family out of the arena during his Grand Slam of Darts final victory over Nathan Aspinall. Smith finally got over the line in a major event after brushing Aspinall aside with a thumping 16-5 win.

Smith dominated the clash from the very off, and showed his very best on the Wolverhampton stage having previously beaten darts legend Raymond van Barneveld earlier in the afternoon. His victory over Aspinall ended a run of eight final defeats at major events.

And with the Englishman keen to finally end his duck, Smith joked about removing his family from the crowd, which he had already done in the semi-final a few hours prior.
