Poor guy. He looked a complete bag of nerves up there. He was dropping darts, constantly looking away from the board and hit more ones than anything else. But at least he hit a treble 20. Can happen to anyone. I feel for him.
6:01 Two in the one, having dropped his final dart, Tony took a moment to compose himself and check the scoreboard. 'What do I need? 314, minus the two I have already scored... better aim for a treble...' *thud* Announcer: Fiiiivvvee! Tony: Nailed it!
I once threw two single ones, stood back, composed myself and threw another single one, and this was in an exhibition against Dennis Priestley who of course replied with a 180
Not being horrible to Fleety but this always makes me chuckle, the fact Adams wasn’t a million miles away himself for much of the game adds to the hilarity
It happens all the time down my local..... we also get a few "3"s for good measure. Of course, most common is the pub player's favourite score.... "26".... and most legs ending with both players scrambling to get double 1 without busting!
@@BuyOneGetOneFree We play cricket in the leagues that play out of my local watering holes. For whatever reason, 501,301 is just not as popular. Most leagues are a combo of games. It’s horrible when the last game of the night is 501 doubles and everyone is trashed. It can take all night to finish up with everyone busting on the double 1.
Van Gerwin would have finished, gone home, seen his wife, seen his mistress, woke up, done the school run, entered the next tourney, and won it, by now!
Adams in his prime was very, very good tbf - always made the latter stages of PDC tournaments when he played them. Had he made the switch he could've won a fair few majors and we may even be talking about him as one of the greats of the game.
Adams was great in his day. A 3-time WC and England captain, certainly good enough to have had some success in the PDC if he'd switched. This leg isn't really representative of his ability, it's hard to raise your game when your opponent is as bad as this.
@@JP.708 Look at how he did when he did enter PDC events. Didn't win anything but it ain't a bad record. Durrant won the Premier League and peak Adams was better than him.
Am I the only one who thinks that he was simply drunk af? He has difficulty keeping balance and not falling over, repeatedly drops or almost drops the darts, etc. He certainly isn't a bad player, his throw looks good.
bruh i have won a leg recently throwing 65 average and 2 darts on double (its my best ever but still) and ive been seriously darting for a couple of months. and then you do it on that stage 😂
I used to take the mick out of the BDO a lot when it was around, especially in the 2010s, but now I really miss it. It was sad what it became, the last few years were genuinely embarrassing, but even in the 2000s it was good quality. It coming on after the PDC was welcome.
One of the best Double Ones in history. And when the scorer barked out "FIVE" I pissed myself. Was Fleety pissed? Or just taking the piss? Or had he pissed himself? Or did he need to go for a piss? Happy days
He is actually a really good player that could certainly compete with PDC's greatest. He was a high representative of the BDO though and has always made it clear that he supports the BDO and would never voluntarily go to the PDC.
Wolfie didn’t join the PDC because he wouldn’t cut it against Taylor, Barney, Van Gerwen, and all the other pros hence he won this Lakeside monstrosity 3 times in a row
The funny thing is that he's still better than my mates and me. Usually one of every 10 or so throws doesn't even hit the board, at least he does that consistently 🎉
5-20-1 - 20-20-1 - 20-20-20 - 20-20-20 - 1-1-T1 - D1-20-19 - 20-1-1 - 1-T20-19 - 1-7-T1 - Starting with a murphy, then at least 8 out of 9 hit the 20. But in the end Fleet has thrown 27 darts with just one hitting where he aimed at and a D1 as "highlight". Just that he did not miss the board. Fascinating.
I know what it feels like, I’m a fairly good player and I remember one night playing in a league for the first time and my arm felt so heavy that I struggled to get it in position to throw the dart, needless to say I played terrible! It looks to me as if Fleet has that exact same feeling here!
@@lucodeath That's what makes me cringe about the leg Fleet had to play: It should have ended quickly, but it seemed like the nightmare would never end!
No wonder BDO collapsed very poor stranded and WDF is pathetic aswell only the PDC players can throw darts the proof is in the pudding BDO & WDF is county standard at the most
Fleet just froze on his first big leg on a big tournament. Adams being the older and more experienced competitor was willing to take it easy and build it up as the match went along. I remember Martin Adams bigged up his opponent that night in a post match interview knowing how tough it can be for first time players like Anthony Fleet that day.

The enthusiasm was warranted: it was the first treble of the leg :).

Not shown, I call BS.

Averaging about 54 and Adams still needs 26 darts to win. The BDO is on another level.
Nothing worse than smug pdc heads though.

Adams won 3-0 in the end averaging 86. Fleet 65.
Maybe had a couple of drinks to calm his nerves. Colin Lloyd played pi55ed up often enough.
Nerves can do that to you

He was drunk. Bobby George said the guy was drinking since 10am
After 12 darts each, fleet had the better average
I'm just relieved nobody in the crowd lost an eye!
Feel for him. That must have been tough
When you constantly miss trebles and can’t check out, you can always rewatch this leg and cheer up a bit. Everybody had a bad day.
david croft commentating on darts was not on my bingo list of things Ill see in 2024
Was that the first ever televised 26 dart finish?
most definitely
Normally I watch sport and when they're playing badly etc I say, "I could do better!" In this case I really believe it could have!
damn, crofty the f1 legend is here on darts didn‘t expect that

He used to do a variety of sports before he joined SkyF1
Oh yes
Legend??? More like F1 pest

The crowd loves a 26!!
The Lakey crowd was used to it!
This is the proper darts the BDO played Adams was on about.
When you have a couple to settle the nerves and have a treble couple.
i dunno y but the sound of the dart hitting the board sounded so nice back then, probs cos its winmau
Microphones.
i think the back bit is hollow
Can't fault the guys DOUBLES,,😂😂... double vodka mate...mans blazed...😂😂😂😂
Love the stage intro's, so cozy back then
Proper cosy! 🤗
Fleet wasn’t full of nerves, he was completely drunk onstage!
I press play on this and was thinking 'how can this video be eight and a half mins long?"
Lol, now I know why
He’s hammered, the only surprising thing is he never fell off the stage! 😂😂😂
And this leg pretty much sums up the downward trend that the BDO was on at this point
The crowning moment is surely hitting the double 1. I mean how can you aim at a treble 20 and hit double 1 haha
The funny thing is, he was actually aiming for T19

The caller the first time I played,
“That’s hit a member of the audience, cat in the alley out side, ooh unlucky just outside the board, no score!”
346 pts scored in 27 darts so a 3 dart average of just over 38 I make it.
38.44 yes. That's about my average at home lol.
as a f1 fan wild to hear crofty here
Poor bloke, is that Crofty from formula one commentating??
Yes.
This is a case study in being psyched out. He still had a chance to come back almost until the end but just couldn't gather himself.
how nervous can you get
Fleet: yes
This is a gem.
Adams didn’t exactly play much better though did he ? 😳Absolute shocker of a leg
Fleet was lagging drunk, but, what was Wolfy's excuse?
Dross.
Looks like he also got problems with his balance
Is it Crofty commenting? :O
Crowd is brutal laughing at him because he dropped a dart.
Between them they threw 53 darts. That's an average of 18.9 per dart.
He was absolutely bollocksed
Either not enough beer or too much.
Who else was routing for a "3"
Cant blame the guy. His favorite number is one. ✌️
