Great to see him looking so well !

[@jamiehayes5888]

He is local to me . Colchester boy he used to play for the spinniker pub . I played against him and got battered several times. He also was very good mates with my best mate and they used to practice together . I remember once Colin got a few other pro players together to play for the spinniker they turned up at a dart match I can't imagine the look on the oponents face. Wayne marble, Roland sholten , Peter Manley and painter all turned up to play an amateur league game on a Thursday night 😂

[@gstjersey5284]

I've met Colin at events on 3 or 4 occasions. Fantastic fella and he's looking in great shape too

[@davewebster689]

Littler and MVG were throwing and obsessed from the moment they were capable of picking up a dart, so idk how much natural ability there can be. Phil Taylor, the GOAT, practiced harder than everyone else, for at least six hours (iirc?) every single day. So there is no substitute for hard work imo

[@amateurgolf6343]

Met him last year at Blackpool proper sound fella lookin good these days 💪

[@robbutterill1426]

wonder if anyone asked lloydy is it in the rules to smack the board😂

[@JohnJaySnookerChannel]

Good man Jaws, looking good these days mate 👍🏻😉

[@onlyme3847]

Had lots of good times when Colin was playing at his best, played a bit myself, but to answer the the thumbnail, I,d turn to the missus and say, ur bad luck, you ain't coming next time😂😂😂

[@David_Mc_Our_God_Reigns]

Wow he looks a lot different lost a lot of weight he must’ve been a player who played better with ale in him.

[@DynamiteBobby]

1:33 Colin saying the quiet part out loud

[@TedBarton91]

Go on Lloydy 🎉🎉 looking good

[@georgef822]

Wow, he has changed!.

[@jadeluke296]

He actually looks better 15-20 years on. Fair play to the lad

[@tonygee5495]

Wow, Colin looks younger and fitter, well done Colin 👏 😊

[@barry2924]

Great lad sad he didn't stay at top for longer

[@robbo03]

Jaws looking in good nick 👍

[@Zarkava8]

Lloyd: Try standing on the dartboard? 😂😂😂

[@jdan35]

What’s that coming over the hill, is it a monster?

[@javison_4]

Colin is looking well these days.

[@tony123456789007]

Wish i could drink at work 😂😂

[@Joeyparr1234]

Jesus Christ, looks better than 15 years ago!

[@Barberdon2022]

Lloydy looks well

[@LeedsAway]

What happens when darts players go off stage? Have a few pints is the truth

[@TedBarton91]

Man that was funny, twenty years ago…….

[@carlbarker5748]

@@TedBarton91not true pal. Whitlock and Terry Jenkins admitted to me they had jd they used to swig on, not only before the game but during also

[@TedBarton91]

@@carlbarker5748 that was then. Its a different environment now mostly. Also, sure they did 🤣

[@LeedsAway]

@edwardbarton6753 it really isn't. My mate (Robbie king) has played in the PDC World Championship and the Australian Masters (Which had Van Gerwen, Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith) he told me that everyone drinks backstage to relax settle their nerves. It helps them throw better.

[@morello3000]

​@@LeedsAwayof course they do...

[@jetStergaming]

Smokebreak

[@normanfawley7379]

Never seen a dart player turn left after retrieving their datrs from the board ?

[@johnlynch9940]

So they don't block the camera

[@dannydbrown90]

Why do you olay darts would be my first question 😂😂

[@Cuteanimalclips101]

What sort of footwear?

[@sarahwelty9223]

Black shoes like brogues or something similar

[@bullyinspace]

They probably bet on themselves on the apps lol Did I say that out loud ????

[@mrpotato442]

Good man Colin. Give yourself a pat on the back I mean bum.

[@benrichards399]

Much prefer Colin and duzza both as co coms, rather than the tediously sarcastic buggers like marDELL and Dan Dawson...

[@knutvoberg4236]

Your choice. I wouldn't have thought that something like the best leg ever or Tops, Tops, Tops by de Sousa could be improved by a commentary - Mardle actually managed it - pure talent!

[@sarahwelty9223]

Definitely Glen Durrant he's got a lovely accent. Dan Dawson talks a load of crap! Mark Webster is so boring, but I don't mind 'I can't spake' Wayne Mardle he's OK👍

[@teamblitz1990]

World seniors tour why not...

[@JohnnyCree]

Quick shot of vodka

[@joewilson1495]

drink doh!

[@geoffs8801]

punch other dart boards🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lukesimpson3080]

Why do most dart players have huge stomachs? My guess is 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@derich1288]

Stupid question… but what is considered darts footwear?

[@sarahwelty9223]

Good shoes with a slight heel something like brogues

[@rossrobson91]

Anything that you’re comfortable in.

[@ericgasparro2545]

You can’t get muscle wastage from using the muscle 😂

[@TizerisT.]

I think he meant torn tendons from repetitive motion. I had that myself

[@knutvoberg4236]

You bet! This happens when you put a lot of strain on the muscle but don't give it enough protein to regenerate. Jaws has probably supplied the body with other calories ... There's also a good reason why bodybuilders train most muscle groups with a day's rest (abs are an exception, for example): regeneration/muscle building takes place on rest days. However, as there was less money to be made in the past, Lloyd probably played in tournaments or exhibitions or trained almost every day - bad for the muscle!

[@theshark2931]

They have a fart probly

[@sarahwelty9223]

And the wild shites!😂😂

[@tomwalsh6774]

Well done for losing the Timber Colin !

[@CovKid2K10]

Could have asked these questions to somebody a bit more famous than this random bloke

[@russellbarber4942]

He became world no1 when Taylor was around very good player

[@ryanthomas5450]

They should have asked you! Knowing your illustrious darts career

[@aethelstanabromowicz1981]

"Random bloke" former world number one, matchplay winner and grand Prix winner....

[@jamiehayes5888]

Former world number one . Would have stayed the number one but changed the ranking system . His A major winner also several massive trophies. Very famous in the darting world

[@JohnJaySnookerChannel]

Good man Jaws, looking good these days mate 👍🏻😉
