What a legend of the game. It's gonna be a sad day when he retires.
The word legend gets thrown around to much the guys hardly won anything so how’s he a legend what a bellend 😂
Interviewed by somebody that loves themselves far more than Beaton ever did 😂
@@CalRapz And your a bigger one
Smoothest throw in the game. Legend.
Legend... played him a few years ago at the local for an exhibition. Great bloke had time for everyone there for a chat.
Another brilliant edition of this series! Steve's a wonderful interviewee and not someone we ordinarily hear a lot from, so this was very enjoyable. Full marks again to Dan Dawson - this series is so enjoyable for us fans.
Love this man! True legend in every sense, my darting hero!
Steve Beaton is an absolute legend 🎯👌
The most wonderful thing about Steve (apart from having the most aesthetically pleasing throw in the game) is the way he transcends generations.
He came through in the era of Bristow et al when players learnt the game in the pub and worked their way up and is still punching his weight with the youngsters today who have come through in an era of JDC, development tours etc etc.
In the mid 90s he was arguably the second best player in the world behind Taylor (on par with Priestley imo).
I hope one of the main broadcasters finds a role for him as a pundit when he retires. I'd happily see ITV bin off Warriner and have him instead.
True class act! Stay in the game Steve, great for Darts!! True legend!!
Steve Beaton and Gary Anderson two of the smoothest dart players in history
All the best. Part of an era where he became champ. 3 years or so was at the top on BBC
The Bronzed Adonis will forever be one of the best nicknames in Darts
Absolute legend is the Bronzed Adonis. Still has all the housewives throwing themselves at him after all these years no doubt.
They can have an interview with every dart player from that generation and I will listen to all of them with ease.. love listening to all the stories and knowledge that comes with it.
I remember at the Scottish open back in the 90's. Beaton came and sat beside our group, 6 pints later, your round Steve, told us all he was skint haha. Still it was a pleasure, made us all feel like kings in that Normandy Hotel Bar.
Back@ Gus Mac ^ Your Daft enough to buy him then , this when he has much more money than you guys have . Sounds like your just daft 👍
My favourite ever. Hope he can have a couple of runs this year
What an absolutely sound fella Steve is
Legend! Nice conversation, will be a sad day when he retires but I can't wait to see him getting a crack at the Seniors!
🎯 Steve, a Very neat thrower,! ... 🎯
What a gentleman
Steve Beaton reached semi final in 93 before the split. Champion in 1996 Absolute legend 😃
Legend!!!!
Love working with Steve as MC in exhibitions
The day he retires will be a sad day for all darts fans such an amazing man and just pure love for the game 30 plus years legend MBE surely
Simple word legend
No mention of when he beat Taylor at the grand slam?? What an unbelievable game that was to come from behind as well to a peak taylor. 👏
Beaton my idol. Played him a few times now in exhibitions, what a great man.
What a great guy!
Makes me feel old, I remember his first appearance at Lakeside when he lost to C Johns then he went on in 1993 to bt Dennis the Menace - last of the old school masters
Love him to have another good run in a tournament this year as a good send off!
What a legend!!
A true legend and always will be and will always be the sexiest dart player ever
Bring back the “stache”!!
How good would that be in his last world's!!!
Absolute legend
Steve is playing as well as ever as the standard these days has increased. All the events have 100+ averages and Steve is normally right there. Legend and hall of fame bound.
Technology with the boards and the darts themselves are as much to explain for the increased averages as the standard of the players.
I'd loved to have seen 'Mrs Beaton mixing it with young Steve!.
what a star

Top player and one of guys i didnt mind winning .
I played in pubs before Steve Beaten although was in Scotland where booze and piss heads was the norm back in 70s
..Was always people playing on the board if u walked into a pub though most times .
but often today not ..Cigarette smoke i had to wade through with clouds of smoke and i was non smoker
and the sounds of piss heads shouting talking gibberish loudly at one another this when i played was also the norm
in pubs , much jealousy was around also and things i could tell i could write a book . I never hit the heights of Steve Beaten
but i was not involved within the inn crowds them who went schools together etc , lthough i left many them in the shade
on the oche when i did play v them , them so called county players
But like Steve Beaten said although to a lesser extent , i know more so a loner wont hit the heights in darts
no matter how good he is .
Have played v Jocky Wilson in a game for some £s myself back before he was seen on tv and i knew not a jot who he was
until later ..This game i played in around 1978/9 v Jocky and was in 1979 in Londons Wembley conference centre
he came across to me at bar asking where i was seated , i pointed him in right direction .
And final time with regards Jocky was in Plough Inn in Forfar
Scotland where i and bar woman alone were within lounge bar and i purchased a drink and opens up cabinet for the board
and begn some practice , after 15 mins or so door nearbye board slight opens , all i see were these 👀piecrcing through and with a voice saying ..Ok for a through t board with you mate ", this was in 1986 and from all people in bar at back room
who walks in door but Jocky Wilson and so im throwing away on the oche just me along with Jocky and barwoman for company which was good fun .
Recall like it was yday when Jocky said after say 10/15 mins on oche turned said to me
You play for Fife Stevie , i replied No im too good to play fir Fife Jocky , which then brought the wide Grin we all liked , he said something else which was also funny in a way regards you look like a famous singer , i replied you remind me of that famous darter Jocky Wilson which brought that wide grin , sure Jocky liked such me saying that 😁 but deep down guy had seen the darts i was throwing was good enough , id say more than good enough ..But ye some good fun between us both .
with some smiles along the way .
And after seeing his game he won 2/0 V some numpty this was my final time of seeing Jocky ..
As for Steve Beaten as said didnt mind him winning as he wasnt a bad loser although i bet he hated losing
i liked his style of throwing the darts , he for me was the real cool hand luke , just his name is same as mine Steve
although Steve > Beaten or back the way Beaten Steve doesnt sound quite as good eh 😄
Guys / Lassies ive already made my poem up which adorns on my wall in the house , and im proud of that as was penned
all by myself and no words so truer .
Sure many have seen it online as i put it online a few times in the past few yrs and im sure they love it as i do 😁
They know i was the real deal but jealousy among some is rife within Fife ..You know guys Billy Connolly told facts some yrs ago now when he said the Scots are a funny bunch in that they dont like famous people
this Billy said when he became big they frowned on him ..i say they are a jealous race of people sadly
and i follow through to say only " IF they were not and gave a talent like myself the chance to shine
then id have taken the darts to a different level back in the day , and with the walk on song and entrance
would have been the no 1 best walk on to date . As for Steve Beaten wish guy awe the very best top player
and sounds like a good guy 👍
Can we have a Bob Anderson and Rod Harrington episodes PLEASE
You should do one with luke littler later on in his career
DAN DAWSON NEEDS TO STOP OVERHYPING EVERYTHING AND CALM DOWN.
Says the guy that types in capitals.
U WOT M8
You can tell by the way steve uses his walk hes a womans man.. no time to talk
Nanette needs to start a website selling mass made Adonis shirts!
Grey Adonis what a legend
You know
If you ain't won a darts World Title in a skirt you ain't Les Wallace.
Great great player always loved watching him play but disagree about the BDO being as good as the WDC as it was then after the split Taylor Priestly Anderson etc all previous recent BDO champions were far superior to any BDO players then
Take out Taylor and Barney and both codes were very similar from 93-07
Adams Hankey and O'Shea are in the same tier as Baxter Harrington and Warriner
I know you’re all jealous I got my rocks off with rock salt.
The freaky thing is, this bloke isnt even 60 years old!
Damn Dawson interviews Welsh/Polish legend Bron Zdadonis. Pretty much ruined by persistent mic noise caused by table tapping (Zdadonis) and asinine questioning (Dawson). Whatever next? Littler Youth farting and following through whilst fellating Barry Hearn? Christ, I've seen it all!!!
Steve Beaton always gets beaten
the number 1 sex symbol in the sport, hell yeah!!!
Price of everything, Value of nothing.
Rumor has it the other players wouldn't take their wives to matches if Steve was there incase they ended up in the hot tub..... Best beaton match was the comeback against Phillip Taylor at the GSOD
