But extremely ‘Snake Bite’ did exactly that, ousting the leading participant 4-1 in a showing of oche brilliance and charisma.
The seismic upset shook the darting world and the gang at Ally Pally, who had been scratching their eyes during the raptures of celebrations.

Despite the verbal jabs, the pair shared a respectful and emotional embrace after the shock complaints unfolded.
Wright has since spread out on what was said during an interview with talkSPORT.
He said: “Yeah he was just saying that the media get carried away with silly comments.
“He said that he did now not notify the things that it in actual fact got right here one day of love.
“I said Luke exactly the same, that is just the way it goes some time. He wished me all the best.
“He’s a delightful guy, a accurate family guy and I wish him the full easiest shifting forward.
“He’s been a fantastic world champion, he’s done everything for the PDC and for the sport.
“He goes all one day of the enviornment doing interviews and stuff love Luke Littler has. They’ve been spreading the sport beautifully.”

But extremely he finds himself in the quarter-finals of the tournament in opposition to all odds, in a way that has now spread out to fresh scales.
A victory in his next match would possibly most likely perhaps perhaps also position up an nice showdown with Luke Littler in the semi-closing, if the ‘The Nuke’ is in a position to win his next two suits.
The Scotsman himself looks to be to be a accurate contender to head the full way now.
But he insists he is now not one among the favourites to win the tournament, given his old manufacture, and plans to steal it every day.

He added: “Yeah it would possibly most likely perhaps perhaps be a dream to win three world titles to check Michael Van Gerwen.
“I’d beat Jockey Wilson and Gary Anderson before they get it, but there is a way to go yet.
“I’m now not a favourite. That is ridiculous. There would possibly be a protracted way to head yet.
