My girlfriend and I met Martin Adams at a darts exhibition a couple of years ago and to be fair he seems like a genuinely nice guy. He had time for everyone.

Greetings from Dublin, Ireland. There was a well known Darts pub here in Dublin called The Submarine Bar (Sadly there no more) & the "who's who" of the game have played a leg or 2 there at 1 time or other & the nicest I've had the pleasure of playing a leg with, John Lowe. He was a frequent visitor too & on 1 occasion went as far as far as to visit a young fan in a local hospital unable to attend the exhibition & presented him with a signed shirt & a set of Darts.

Gotta love KZfaq comments. Martin Adams reached the final of a pretty big tournament, lost to the greatest player in darting history, and yet people are using this as "proof" Adams is shit, it boggles the mind. It's completely true that he never switched codes because he was happy being the best in the BDO, and he wasn't much of a loss to the PDC, but he was a massive gain for the BDO. Plus don't forget every single one of the main players these days started out in the BDO, all of them.

+Helldhaz A so called top sportsman not stepping up to a challenge when presented with it should lead to ridicule and rightly so. Adams would have bobbed around in the top 10 of the PDC being anonymous, but at least have a go. He might even have improved with better competition. Nobody is denying the BDO in terms of bedding in talent, but that's all it is now, a lower league compared to the PDC's premier league.

@@vinnyvasquez The BDO always made it difficult for players to leave though, there was a rule until this year that stated that if they go to PDC Q-School and don't get a card then they cannot come back to the BDO. It's a big risk to take when only 1/15-20 players get a tour card.

Martin Adams reached the PDC Matchplay semi final and Grand prix quarter finals in2001 . He also won a players championship event in 1999.Beating Taylor in the event . Adams would of done ok in the PDC . Most likely of been in the first few premier leagues
@flaviusconstantius9702 Жыл бұрын
He also lost in the first round the other time he played in the Matchplay. Adams got battered by Barney at Lakeside in 2005 and 2006, 6-2 both times. In 2005, he lost the Masters semi to Barney 6-1 and in 2006 he lost the Masters final to a teenage MVG 7-5 after leading 5-2. He got thrashed by Taylor every time they met on TV, including the Matchplay in 2001 and the World Darts Trophy in 2006. Adams will never live down the fact that all his successes in the BDO came after 2006 when Barney and most of the other top pros had switched. He might have hung around the top 20 in the PDC like Chisnall/Hamilton/King do/did but he'd never have been a world champ.

Mickey, What in the hell are you talking about? I was saying it was good to see two players enjoying each other having a good time. The match was between Bobby George and some other guy. Dart players are usually rude and ignorant and your comment proves that! Also I am quite aware that neither you or I would win any dart games against Taylor.
