Teenagers ever have one someone in our meeting said that yeah though that was it someone said that which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard better than Pelle in the World Cup final know they said Pelle could have won that match on stage at Ali P when when Wayne
Rooney scored that goal remember the name against Arsenal he was 16 was yeah that’s bigger but even Rooney is a teenager G to the Euros the only thing I’ll say oh in 18 World Cup yeah the I’m not comparing but the only thing I’ll say if you’re 16 and you’re doing it on

The bad boys quote springs to mind
Personality of a brick
He ain't 16
4:35 Doesn't bode well for his future if he's dwelling on his number of Instagram followers….
Defeats Taylor? π
hes 16 and beat one of the best darts players ever yet hes do calm π₯Άπ₯Ά
Boris Becker was 17 and unseeded when he won Wimbledon for the first time in 1985β¦.
I've backed him at 66/1 for Β£20 on monday as i was so impressed watching him in the youth final. Ill be backing him every year from now unless the odds get too short like 4s and under
Rooney at 16 was scoring goals in the Prem!
16? More like 36 π€£π€£
Goldstein is the worst.
Sounds like a recording not a live interview
the Michael Phelps of darts. His entire physical form was grown in a test tube – or rather a Green King pub – conditioned specifically for being a darts playing prodigy. He has the body of a 40 plus year veteran. Even his hairline does not want to risk impairing his view so has taken a back seat.
Iceboy on fire π₯
Nice to see schneltz herring making a name for himself
