Met him at a BDO tournament. He's such a friendly chap and gives a lot to his fans. Always a smile. Thanks Wolfie!

Wolfie is a great guy, darts needs more guys like him

Stand up guy, tells it how it is and a true professional!!! Younger players could learn a lot listening to Wolfie!!!

Played him in local leagues a few times and he's a proper gentleman and truly modest. A great ambassador for the game.

I’d love to have a beer with this guy. I would keep my mouth shut and enjoy the words spoken. Always liked Adams.

True gentleman of the sport. Be a sorry time when this legend packs it up. Hopefully see him in future at a local exhibition when covid eases up

Absolute Legend... I really hope he wins one more major title.

Love Martin Adams, what a player he was and still is, played some excellent stuff last week! Hope he keeps playing some tournaments in the future, would love to see Wolfie giving it his best at a big stage again (maybe for a last time)!

Can’t help but like this man

This man is a true gentleman had the pleasure of meeting him on many occasions, shared a few pints with him when he done exhibitions at my uncles pubs. He has time for everyone and appreciates everyone and everything they do to support him. I even own the shirt he won his 1st World title in and the darts, fantastic human being and hope whatever happens he is happy and hope too see him 1 more time on our screens

As I grew up with darts I had very little time for Martin Adams, county darts with it's clique and the BDO (particularly post WDC/PDC). I felt similar about Bobby George and others with their bling. They appeared to be "wide boys", always playing second, third or fourth fiddle to their counterparts in WDC/PDC. That said, I have developed empathy and appreciation for the huge contributions and dedication Messrs Adams, George et al. have made to the sport of darts. Thank-you for what you have done for darts and I will admit I was nieve and wrong in many of my views. I hope I have made some sense lol.

My darting hero, incredible player. Spoke to him once and he is brilliant. :)

20 years ago when I was a kid, I watched darts with my parents and saw Wolfie playing. I always loved his appearance. He always looks so genuine and nice. Love his personality. Now, I am still watching darts actively. Good to still see him around. The reason I got to love the game.

Totally agree. Darts is a game of real characters, more so than other sports I think. Back in Wolfies day they were all characters, and thankfully darts has maintained that to this day. Oww oww owwwwwwwwww!🐺

Great to hear from Wolfie again! He's a great bloke who should be more visible on the modern darts scene. This interview's had me watching his Grand Slam matches on YT. Smashing interview here from Mr. Adams.

Just read that he has been invited to inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship for over-50s. Next year along with Phill Taylor

Seeing him hit a 9 darter and putting up 90+ averages routinely during these ODL events, i think Taylor is upping his practice hours. Don't see him(Taylor) not wanting to win the first seniors Worlds... Gonna be a cracking one.

Brilliant interview, legend of the game🎯

Top interview, you clearly put him at ease

So articulate. Principled and a great player.

I wish he would play in another tv event

My all time favourite player, legend 🐺

Legend simple 👏👏🎯🎯👍👍 , Wolfie is a Legend

Possibly my favourite darts player. Lives fairly local to me too so always had a soft spot for Wolfie.

Top bloke..always loved Martin.

Despite the fact that Martin Adams was not interested in getting a PDC tour card, he is still a great player. I would love to be as good as him. He was loyal to the BDO until its demise

@anthonymatute6057

Adams would never win a tour card at Q school, he would get destroyed in the PDC

One Word - Legend

Always been a huge Phil Taylor fan I believe he is the greatest off all time no one will ever get close to him but I do admire Woflie hes a true gentleman I would of loved to of seen him join the PDC he would of been a brilliant asset and would of had the chance to play at the best venues against the best players to show how good he was wasnt to be great interview Martin keep throwing the arrows

Hungry Like the Wolf. ....Aaaawwoooooooo. A genuine guy and to me an OG. The Lakeside will always be THE darts venue. The characters were better. The quality of the darts might not have been the best but having had the pleasure of going to the Lakeside, I think darts should be back there imo. Atmosphere was second to none.

If I was a player on tour and missed out to someone lower ranked than me I would feel that it was unfair, however I can understand that the PDC wants to give these female players a chance to inspire a future generation of women to take up the game of darts. Hopefully within a couple of decades we'll see an equal split of male and female players competing at the very highest level 110+ averages etc, ability to play darts is afterall not majorly limited by our bodies

Great man.

He is so much nicer then i thought watching him play....

Shame the sound was one sided on headphones. Still, great interview. Legend of the game!

Spoke a lot of sence in that interview there especially about the evalution of the game

Big fan of Wolfie, but having a loyalty to an organisation that doesn't do anything to help itself in obvious need of help, should refocus your loyalty to the actual sport. Plus a loyalty to yourself as a player? I dunno. I suppose hindsight is always 20/20 🤷

Ollie was the issue,with respect. Martin is sadly wrong here.

Nice enough bloke but the BDO definitely got what it deserved,ended just being a feeder organisation for the far superior PDC

Look Olly Croft was a silly old fool who would not wake up and listen to the players hence the birth of PDC he always said it was his child but the trouble is children grow up

the man who said he would never play in a comp run by barry hearn, but soon came begging for the pdc coin of uncle barry. all those principles were quickly tossed aside.
