Really well put together. To be a professional in any sport you have to believe you can win, I lost a little belief maybe.

Met wayne at an exhibition in Longford ireland years ago, he turned out to be an absolute gentleman

It was a shame, Wayne's a great character! Excellent video.

We need Waynes enthusiasm COME ON NOW

Love Wayne commentating great knowledge of the game and great banter

Great guy Knowledge is impeccable The most entertaining player at exhibitions Very down to earth and honest

From the comments I can see mardle is quite devisive 😅, I for one actually like him

He still does exhibitions and is one of the best on the stage.Coming down to Cornwall this summer. Wayne and Donna are a lovely couple.

Wayne isn't a bad lad, he has his faults, but is a pretty decent commentator overall. Was an OK player at the height of his career, clearly he ran into the best far too often in the final... Taylor, and once he got past him he failed.

has he not also created a kind of darts school for teaching young talent how to improve their throw? He's the only one on sky who regularly provides insights into the technique of the players, clearly speaking from experience but also from his coaching...

great video m8

For me, he was just part of that era within the early 2000s where you could get away with playing average darts. When he took his foot off the gas (besides his illness) he paid the price. That Kirk shepherd loss was the beginning of the end.

I used to love watching Wayne play darts. Taylor was his nemesis otherwise I think things would have been very different for him. He definitely had a flawed throwing technique which meant that when he was under pressure more often than not he did not have the required accuracy to get him over the line at the critical moments. He is still a great character and I wish he'd tried to sort out his technique and continue for a few more years.

Mardle likes the sound of his own voice. Thanks for the video.

A decent player to a level at the time - probably would be ranked about 40 or 50 now. When he commentates he seems to sometimes change his opinion mid sentence which can be hilarious.

0:07 The difference between Wayne Mardle and Gary Anderson and Peter Wright? Anderson and Wright actually won majors. The only thing Mardle won was a “Knob of the Week” on several occasions on Justin Credible’s blog.

Is this live? This comment section? It is? Why wasn't I told? I can't spake.

It wasn’t due to mumps, his game just went off the boil

Never met him but played a lot of darts with his dad Bill.

i would call him a Matt Le Tissier of darts with a great talent and love for the game but just couldnt get over the line.

Ronnie Baxter vid be good or some orher retired greats

'Mouth and trousers' comes to mind.

Never had the bottle.he had a perfect chance In 2008,but went and lost to Kirk Shepard.you would fancy him against part in that final

Its a bit of a love hate relationship with Mardle. Love to hate him. Lol

Couldn’t stand him when he was winning he was running around the stage putting the other players off and when he was losing he’d be crying like a baby 🔔 🔚✊🏻💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦

Very entertaining and appears to be a nice person? He could have been one of the best ever. However he was his own worse enemy by trying to practice what he preached. In regard to where a lot of his darts hit he should have called himself Hawaii 5 not 501. He like all top players never admitted the truth and ploughed on in ignorance, regardless. Loved his shed!

Littler twists his darts too lol

Just one question to all the people on here slagging off "Wayne Mardle" what have you all done in your lives to compare ?

He was an emotional child at the oche and useless in the commentary box.

Mardy Mardle persistently projects jealous narcissiscm on many he comments on! esp. his opportunistic nitpicking on board management maths!

Enjoyable to watch as a player, not so good as a commentator.

His game went to crap. He always had too many bad visits to be consistently competitive with the best and as time went on he just threw more and more darts into the 5 segment. He also blew his best chance at a WDC in the semfinal against a nobody (to get to a final he probably would have won). He reminds me of James Wade in that regard, although at least Wade bottled his WDC chance against a proper player and has won plenty of other events. Wayne never won much of note, he was always the nearly guy. Shame as he was always fun to watch and seemed like a nice guy.

Best darts commentator today! Period.

As much as I like Wayne, he lacks the raw sex appeal of John Part.

He retired early because he was shit

An absolute bell end in the commentry box, white noise would be more entertaining.

Thanks for sending to sleep with your dull voice

Cannot stand the narrators voice. You should get a pro to do the chat.

Because he was crap 😂

He talks total bollocks

An overrated player and even worse as a pundit and commentator. Don't start me on all that prancing about he did.

Nice easy job lined up in the commentary box, easy money bit of patter likes a bit of helmet 🪖, living the dream 👍

NEVER Won a World Fina. NEVER Reached a World Final NEVER Reached a Ranking Grand Slam Final. etc. etc. The only thing he was good for is selling Hawaiian Shirts
