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

Your own on the world stage wow right that’s incredible imagine being 16 what were you doing at 16 in football you haven’t played just about to get into it was just first team were you okay well can you remember what that feeling was like yeah incredible even training with

Win the first game be the youngest to win a game but I was the youngest of the um the debut was the highest EV ravage they’ve ever seen so it’s all just a bonus and tonight will just be an extra bonus if I can get over the line against

Andrew Gilden can you put into words how you felt before your match during the match and after it because you look so relaxed up [Applause] there um on the on the stage it was the crowd they just nonstop they’re just chanting even chanting he’s got school in the morning it was just unbelievable

  1. 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

  2. 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.
