Darts hero accuses Gary Anderson of being BAD for the sport as he blasts ‘he does nothing else for it’

GARY ANDERSON has been accused of ‘sending a bad signal’ to darts – because he nearly WON a major tournament.

The Flying Scotsman reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts, losing out to eventual winner Luke Littler.

Anderson, 53, was back to his best in Wolverhampton and made it all the way to the final four.

The two-time world champion went head-to-head with Luke Littler for a place in the final.

What followed was one of the best games of darts in recent memory, with Littler narrowly winning 16-15 in a thriller.

Despite coming up short, Anderson has re-entered the top 16 of the world rankings.

Anderson, the world champion in 2015 and 2016, hasn’t won a major title since 2018 and hasn’t been shy in revealing in recent years how he NEVER practices at all.

And the fact he came so close to glory at the Grand Slam has annoyed Dutch darts hero Vincent van der Voort.

Former world championship quarter-finalist van der Voort, who has never won a major title himself, reckons Anderson managing to reach the semi-finals is BAD for the sport.

Accusing Anderson of only showing up ‘once in a while,’ van der Voort reckons it isn’t good for the game

He told podcast Darts Draait Door: “This is obviously not how you want to see it.

“It sends a bad signal to the sport when someone like him can suddenly win a tournament like this.

“He is someone who shows up once in a while and does nothing else for it.

“You want someone to win who does everything for the sport, someone who handles it professionally.

“Anderson says everywhere he goes that he plays occasional matches and tournaments and never practices otherwise.

“That you can even visit him to see that it’s really like that. He basically wants to indicate that he doesn’t do anything for it.”

Anderson has indicated that he would REFUSE any invitation into the lucrative Premier League Darts.

The popular tournament runs for several months from February to May each year and brings the best players in the world together for regular head-to-head matchups.

But despite dates in Aberdeen and Glasgow, there could be NO Scottish players in the line-up in 2025.

While Anderson hasn’t featured for a while, Peter Wright has been a regular fixture in the Premier League.

But Snakebite’s form has tailed off dramatically and he’s now fallen out of the world’s top 16 for the first time in 11 years.

Andy Murray aims Real Madrid swipe at Rafa Nadal and rolls back years to their teens in emotional retirement message

TENNIS LEGEND Andy Murray has paid tribute to Rafa Nadal as the sport’s superstar as he followed him into retirement.

And recalled with glee how he induced Rafa RAGE off the court.

News Group Newspapers Ltd

The Spaniard’s swansong in his storied career ended as his country crashed out of the Davis Cup to The Netherlands on Tuesday.

And Murray’s video tribute soon surfaced – including a cheeky swipe from their time on tour.

The duo’s rivalry goes way back – as far as their teenage years more than two decades ago.

Murray even moved to Barcelona as he honed his court skills, while Nadal, from Mallocra was a promising player coming through the Spanish ciruit.

Of course they’d both meet on the court at the highest stage possible.

But also, Murray revealed, on the PITCH.

Both are big football fans with Murray – once offered trials by Rangers – a huge Hibs fan.

Nadal’s uncle Miguel Angel was a feared Barcelona defender in the early-90s but the 22-time Grand Slam winner is actually a dyed in the wool Madridista and follows arch-rivals Real Madrid.

And Murray had a naughty nod towards this in his tribute, as well as throwback to their teens.

He revealed he’d prompt Nadal to lose his cool in their hotel rooms while they travelled the world on tour.

But he also acknowledged his stunning career that has included 1080 wins and just 227 defeats – a percentage return of more than 82 per cent.

Murray said: “I just wanted to send you a quick message to congratulate you on an incredible career.

Head to head

Here's how Murray and Nadal stack up against each other

  • Matches: Nadal 17-7 Murray
  • Career titles: Nadal 92-46 Murray
  • Career prize money: Nadal $134.9m – $64.7m Murray

“I’ve always been a huge fan of yours and it’s been incredible to watch you, practise with you and have the chance to compete against you over all these years since we first met as 13 and 14 year old kids.

“The passion and intensity that you played with – not just on the match court, but also the practice court – was something that I think all tennis players aspire to.

“And it’s what all tennis fans will remember you for.

“We’ve also learned so much from you over the years about humility, hard work and most importantly respect for everybody.

“You’re probably the only tennis player ever to NEVER throw your racquet in anger which is incredible.

“However this wasn’t the case when you would lose at Playstation.

“I’ve seen Rafa throwing Playstation controllers around hotel rooms all over the world when he and his close friend Juan Monaco would lose a late goal to me with his beloved Real Madrid on Pro Evolution Soccer.

“Anyway I’m sure your body is looking forward to a well-earned rest.

“It’s been incredible watching you, thanks for everything Rafa – enjoy retirement man.”

Since Murray hung up his own racquet he has turned his hand to golf, while his Scottish hotel – Cromlix House near Dunblane is planning on another extension after landing a prestigious award last year.
