Wayne Mardle hilariously changes Twitter profile picture and admits he "pushed too hard"

Wayne Mardle has poked fun at himself after admitting he "pushed too hard" on commentary during an incredible PDC World Championship final on Tuesday night.

With Michael van Gerwen leading Michael Smith 1-0, and the second set poised at 1-1 in legs, darts fans were treated to arguably the greatest 67 seconds in the history of the sport. Both players recorded maximum 180s from their first two visits to the oche, before MVG nailed another 180 and a 177, before agonisingly missing double 12.

Incredibly, Smith made him pay, taking out treble 20, treble 19, and then his own shot at double 12 to send the Ally Pally crowd into raptures. 'Bully Boy' would go on to win the clash 7-4, and claim his maiden world title.
