Poor guy. He looked a complete bag of nerves up there. He was dropping darts, constantly looking away from the board and hit more ones than anything else. But at least he hit a treble 20. Can happen to anyone. I feel for him.

6:01 killed me. He dropped the dart, waited a bit to focus again, said "lets go" or something like that and then the caller says "5". xD what a brillant moment
I was more heart broken over the nastiness of the T.V. graphics guy at 7:59 he wrote on screen " no possible out " FLEET being 166 left. He could have wrote no possible out with 16 left . hahahahahaaa 🤣🤣
I once threw two single ones, stood back, composed myself and threw another single one, and this was in an exhibition against Dennis Priestley who of course replied with a 180
It happens all the time down my local..... we also get a few "3"s for good measure. Of course, most common is the pub player's favourite score.... "26".... and most legs ending with both players scrambling to get double 1 without busting!
@@BuyOneGetOneFree We play cricket in the leagues that play out of my local watering holes. For whatever reason, 501,301 is just not as popular. Most leagues are a combo of games. It’s horrible when the last game of the night is 501 doubles and everyone is trashed. It can take all night to finish up with everyone busting on the double 1.
Not being horrible to Fleety but this always makes me chuckle, the fact Adams wasn’t a million miles away himself for much of the game adds to the hilarity
Van Gerwin would have finished, gone home, seen his wife, seen his mistress, woke up, done the school run, entered the next tourney, and won it, by now!
Am I the only one who thinks that he was simply drunk af? He has difficulty keeping balance and not falling over, repeatedly drops or almost drops the darts, etc. He certainly isn't a bad player, his throw looks good.
bruh i have won a leg recently throwing 65 average and 2 darts on double (its my best ever but still) and ive been seriously darting for a couple of months. and then you do it on that stage 😂
Adams in his prime was very, very good tbf - always made the latter stages of PDC tournaments when he played them. Had he made the switch he could've won a fair few majors and we may even be talking about him as one of the greats of the game.
Adams was great in his day. A 3-time WC and England captain, certainly good enough to have had some success in the PDC if he'd switched. This leg isn't really representative of his ability, it's hard to raise your game when your opponent is as bad as this.
@@JP.708 Look at how he did when he did enter PDC events. Didn't win anything but it ain't a bad record. Durrant won the Premier League and peak Adams was better than him.
I used to take the mick out of the BDO a lot when it was around, especially in the 2010s, but now I really miss it. It was sad what it became, the last few years were genuinely embarrassing, but even in the 2000s it was good quality. It coming on after the PDC was welcome.
Tony Fleet: ok, Martin has his whole werewolf theme, the howling, the looking like a werewolf, the entrance theme of 'Hungry like the Wolf', the nickname Wolfie. I need a concept... Streuth, what about Australia? I'm Australian. Wear Australian colours. Walk out to 'Land Down Under', map of Australia on my back. Bonza! Commentator: Tony has come all the way from New Zealand today...
5-20-1 - 20-20-1 - 20-20-20 - 20-20-20 - 1-1-T1 - D1-20-19 - 20-1-1 - 1-T20-19 - 1-7-T1 - Starting with a murphy, then at least 8 out of 9 hit the 20. But in the end Fleet has thrown 27 darts with just one hitting where he aimed at and a D1 as "highlight". Just that he did not miss the board. Fascinating.
Decided to watch this again. Fleet's Wikipedia page is almost entirely about this one leg, poor chap! He was really unlucky that Adams was also shocking in this leg and allowed this embarrassment to even happen.
This always pops up when pdc world championship starts. Nicknamed fleety ,wonder how long it took them to think that up ? Should have been nicknamed bag of shite 😂😂😂
One of the best Double Ones in history. And when the scorer barked out "FIVE" I pissed myself. Was Fleety pissed? Or just taking the piss? Or had he pissed himself? Or did he need to go for a piss? Happy days
I know what it feels like, I’m a fairly good player and I remember one night playing in a league for the first time and my arm felt so heavy that I struggled to get it in position to throw the dart, needless to say I played terrible! It looks to me as if Fleet has that exact same feeling here!
@@lucodeath That's what makes me cringe about the leg Fleet had to play: It should have ended quickly, but it seemed like the nightmare would never end!
The scary part of this is that Adams is only 51 points ahead after they’ve thrown 15 darts each. Don’t think the PDC players will be quaking in their boots 😀😀😀😀😀
He is actually a really good player that could certainly compete with PDC's greatest. He was a high representative of the BDO though and has always made it clear that he supports the BDO and would never voluntarily go to the PDC.
Wolfie didn’t join the PDC because he wouldn’t cut it against Taylor, Barney, Van Gerwen, and all the other pros hence he won this Lakeside monstrosity 3 times in a row
Fleet just froze on his first big leg on a big tournament. Adams being the older and more experienced competitor was willing to take it easy and build it up as the match went along. I remember Martin Adams bigged up his opponent that night in a post match interview knowing how tough it can be for first time players like Anthony Fleet that day.
Tony Fleet was nervous: Martin Adams walked on as the business-mafia-lakeside-man keeping his hands to himself, already a champion and crowd favourite, certain the bookies favourite. What would tip the odds; what would guarantee? Get the 'fans' during Fleet's inagural walk-in to openhand slap his throwing hand red-raw. And sure enough, it wasn't until 28 minutes after his defeat, ignoring his bankrupter's phonecalls, Fleet realised.
