'Famous' game it says in the description. I have no memory of pre-existing handbags between the pair.

By famous it meant it was a special moment as it was Paul Nicholson's TV debut and he hit a 180 with his first 3 darts, silencing the booing crowd. Throwing a 180 with your first throw on a TV debut is amazing

A LOOK AT REASON WHY ANDERSON HAD A GRIPE WITH NICHOLSON: "NOT THE ONLY PLAYER WHO HAS WANTED TO GIVE ME A FILLING IN"

Gary Anderson sparked headlines as ever after his first title in three years not for winning but for his comments surrounding Paul Nicholson post match with 'The Flying Scotsman' taking umbrage with being called a 'bad loser' by 'The Asset'.

Nicholson made the comments during his weekly Sporting Life column where he made reference to darts' main sore losers and Anderson was one of the names picked out including after a personal incident between the pair in the past.

"Sorry Gary Anderson fans but he’s got to be in this list. Generally he handles defeat well but if you cast your mind back, there have been incidents where he’s come across as a bad loser. Even if some of these gripes may be justified in some people’s eyes," he said to Sporting Life.

"He’s not been happy about squeaking floorboards, noises behind him, things players have supposedly said and various other antics he believes are bad sportsmanship or etiquette. You’ve got to remember that old school players were brought up with strict etiquette that the younger generation don’t necessarily subscribe to as religiously.

"He doesn’t shy away from making his feelings known – on stage or during interviews. He’s even been in bad moods after victories, such as table-gate with Mensur Suljovic at the World Championship one year, where he said he’d be ‘offski’ if gamesmanship became rife in the sport. And after his next win, he called Wayne Mardle a 'numpty'.

"At the 2009 UK Open, he was ready to fill me in! I beat him fair and square on his tournament debut and although my celebration was a bit aggressive, it wasn’t towards him. It was to the camera.

"One of my old friends from Northumberland was there holding Gary back because he had a desire to take me outside! To be fair, he’s not the only player who has wanted to give me a filling in, but this altercation meant we didn’t talk for about two years. We shook hands if we ever we played each other but we’d never speak. I stayed clear of him because let’s face it, if he got hold of me it wouldn’t end well for me. He’s made of very tough Scottish stuff. I was on notice.

"Gary is a very passionate individual and I really do admire him for that – it made him the exciting, legendary player he is, with such a huge fanbase. No matter how much he might act like he’s laid back about the game these days, don’t let that kid you about his hatred of losing.

"But he’s had issues with the likes of Gerwyn Price, Adrian Lewis, Joe Cullen, Chris Dobey and even Raymond van Barneveld in the past.

"When he was younger during his BDO days, he once threw his darts into the lake at Lakeside, although it was frozen at the time so they skidded across the surface. There will be lots of darts at the bottom of that water because there are many players who like to take their anger out on their tungsten.

Nicholson is bang on, if you're accusing the likes of Cullen and Dobey of cheating you're clearly a cunt

[Rogg]

I hope Nichoo knows what he's letting himself in for. Anderson's fans will be crowdfunding a biological weapon.

In recent years in particular Anderson has seen gamesmanship/cheating when it simply isn't there.

The Cullen game being a prime example.

I couldn't find the original women's masters trophy but I did find footage of the first final itself. Enjoy.

Really? 3 consecutive UK Open controversies between Nicho and Anderson, 2009-2011. The 2010 one was the funniest, when Nicho lost to Anderson and lost it with someone in the crowd, Nicho doing a "W" sign with his fingers, which he claimed meant "whatever". Nicho wanted to fight the guy, but Russ Bray held him back. LOL. Anderson made a nice quip about "Paul wants to be the bad boy, but you've got to expect the stick".

The other two saw Nicho beat Anderson, and Anderson's sore loser attitude was very clear. Nicho wound him right up with a combination of clinical finishes, showboating and a deliberate style of play.

That's a good day for des. At least he won a leg

58 average, can't knock it.

[Rogg]

Not too bad. How about Jacklin v Jacklin @ best of 13 sets? 50/50 imo.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Very odd. I thought they had players falling over each other to take the Jacklin coin?

Greaves played for Yorkshire women's b team as well. Probably because they aren't at every game so it's unfair on the a team players

Is that Yozza Hughes playing for Staffordshire?
