That was a very special win for me. Why do you think it happens regularly in the BDO that a champion can't keep his title in the following year? Is it really that there is such a lot of talent around? The year after winning the Lakeside World Championship is such a busy one that in a strange way your darts practice can get pushed to the side a bit.

You only need to lose a little focus and the other guys who are in form will take your place. The talent and standard of the players in the BDO is extremely high, as many players who would not be known on the High Street regularly throw 30 plus averages against you. How did you get on with your PDC colleagues there? Probably in private live there is not such a split??? I've got great friends who play on the PDC circuit and so there is no split off the oche. The rivalry is healthy and adds some spice to games.

I love it more than anything else, the buzz of a packed crowd and TV cameras is what we all strive for. If fans are hell bent on showing no respect for players on their throw then it can affect me. Everyone thinks I'm the "bad boy" but I'm far from it. Booing has become part of the drama, but when players are throwing they should respect that so we can put on the best possible show. I suppose you are a full-time pro - can one earn a good living with the BDO price money or is it necessary to have a sponsor and to do exhibitions?

You can earn a good living on the BDO but as events tend to be at the weekend you need to do something to keep you busy in the week. Having sponsors is great as it helps you plan the year ahead. Yes there is as darts has to be accessible for all. The BDO do a great job at making this possible as well as having the advantage of terrestrial TV coverage, and the PDC have their own niche in the market. You often hear from top players who play around with different set-ups and different darts - are you one of those or do you think you've got the ideal set-up and stick to it?

The latest change I made was to my new Winmau darts and I've not changed my set up since and that was 3 years ago. Do you something special to prepare for a really important tournament like the World Championship? Hopefully I've played enough competitive darts to be ready, as if you have to do loads of practice it can leave you mentally tired.

Ha ha of course I can, as like most Pro's we seldom hit the averages that we hit in practice on stage!
