Greg and Martin
Greg 'The Abominable Throwman' Davies
Greg Davies is a British stand-up comedian and actor. He is best known for his role as Mr. Gilbert in The and for starring in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three comedy .
Greg was a huge darts fan growing up and always dreamed of going to Lakeside as a child. He first started playing darts at the age of 14. During his three years at University, Greg played lots of darts and would regularly host tournaments at his house with his friends.
Until he started training for Let’s Play Darts, Greg hadn’t played for 20 years. After University he said his game went to pieces.
Greg describes his darting style as “an overweight man trying to stop himself from falling over”.
Greg’s greatest fear for the tournament is that he lets his teenage self-down as he’s waited 30 years for his moment.
Martin ' Wolfie' Adams
Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams is one of the most recognisable faces of darts; he’s played at every World Championship since 1994, winning the title three times in 2011, 2010 and 2007.
Martin started playing darts seriously in pub leagues in 1981 and was made the captain of the England Darts team in 1993. He held the position until 2013 becoming the longest serving England Darts captain of all time.
Having made his Lakeside debut in 1994 at the age of 37, Martin finally reached the final on his 12th attempt in 2005 where he lost to Raymond van Barneveld, 2-6.
Martin lost out on the 2015 BDO World Championship to Scott Mitchell, in a close 6-7 classic final at Lakeside.
