Darts world champion Michael Smith achieved his dream this week before quickly realising another.
‘Bully Boy’ produced a remarkable performance to defeat the mighty Micheal van Gerwen 7-4 to etch his name in history books. The atmosphere at Alexandra Palace was electric as the Englishman rose to the occasion and won his maiden world title in style.
After registering the biggest win of his career, the new world number one was able to take the Sid Waddell trophy to his beloved St Helens. A lifelong fan of the rugby club, Smith took a special photo standing in between both his world title and the Super League title. The snap was taken on the St. Helens’ hallowed turf as the 32-year-old beamed for the camera.
