Geordie darts star Chris Dobey was given a rapturous reception on his homecoming night in the 2023 Premier League darts at Newcastle's Utilita Arena.
The 32-year-old Bedlington ace returned to play in the region for the first time since winning a major TV title on the Professional Darts Corporation circuit, winning the Masters in Milton Keynes back in January.
And the moment was marked in some style as he walked out to Newcastle United anthem 'Local Hero' in front of the raucous 8,000 strong home town support.
