None more so than @johnnysachs. He was labelling Michael Smith as the Waterford hurling of the World Darts Championship earlier.
The best performance in a final that Iβve seen.
A great victory for Merseyside.
Greatest game of darts ever.
Well done Bully, had visions of it all going terribly, terribly wrong but he showed nerves of steel.
Outstanding delighted for him
The Bullyboy!

Maybe its Waterfords year.
Love the Darts.
It would have been worse than '94!
Bully boy is a Man U supporting scouser.
Well done Bully Some last leg.
Van Gerwen is underachieving for his level of talent.
Hope for fat bastards everywhere.
I was just thinking he could genuinely go on and win a few now
The last couple of legs were Joe Canning standing over a 78th minute free stuff.
He will. I said it at the time but winning grand slam was massive.
MVG very gracious
The Ally Pally helped him over the line at the end there. Extraordinary support.
