Chris Mason on his time in prison and CRAZY escape story | The Darts Show Podcast | Ep.5 CLIP

[@arska1804]

Dicky Knox (Richard Knox) the prison officer who he mentions saving his life was my grandfather, who sadly passed away to cancer... right up till the last 4ish months of his life he was still out playing the monday and friday night leagues having a good laugh with his boys. He told me this story, but the fact Chris still remembers him and still considers him to be the man who brought him back from the brink and speaks so highly of him is just incredible, and the legend that he was still lives on in so many peoples memories 💔

[@rogercorby8302]

you should be very proud , your grandfather was clearly a lovely compassionate guy mate

[@josephahiggins5920]

God bless Dicky Knox. ❤

Amazing to hear Chris talking so openly about this period of his life. For us fans, this is what we've all been curious to hear about for a long time. Looking forward to the full podcast. Chris is brilliant and it's great to see him working with the PDC on content like this - he's one of the best talkers & thinkers in darts.

Serious props to the guard who stopped him double topping himself.

Being someone who had a chaotic life at one stage I have experienced homelesnes and prison. I spent 2 years on my 1st sentence at Portland YO and let me tell you, I've done time in Reading prison and Bristol and Young offenders are way worse. Real hard time. I've always liked and respected Chris Mason and never knew he done some porridge. Chris is a man I can relate too. Love him.

[@thadonis.]

That room in the prison where he played darts. It's now used for the online darts live league.

Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day Amen

[@johnhance5868]

its not like ive actually held any negative thoughts or attitude towards Chris Mason, a quality player in his day, ive no idea if he still slings any?, now that ive watched this interview twice over, its opened my eyes some about CM the Man, there were certain things he said that i could relate to and empathize with, having had very similar experiences myself, for sure the level of Respect i now have for Chris Mason has been greatly elevated, Good on ya Chris!!

[@brendanjordan6780]

Much respect for Chris. He knows his darts for sure.

[@Countrystock]

The Officer he mentioned died a few years back. RIP Dick

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

He sounds proud about the prison he was in.... that tells me he is sort of proud of it.

[@stevecantona7405]

Respect to mase great dart player also a expert on he's commentary h

[@luciddreamer4672]

Respect. We all screw up. I did anyway. Live and learn.

[@MrDavidp180]

FairPlay Chris for talking about

[@chrisb4331]

Wow Heavy stuff. Can’t wait to hear it all.

[@coastalrider1155]

I remember a tv documentary called darts players wife’s and Chris wife or girlfriend was on it while he was in jail and part of it he was out was quite good

[@juliantsenkov1585]

Seems like he learnt from his mistakes.

[@philmuggeson1849]

Hammer attack, benefits cheat, wife beater, really nice bloke

[@BartoniGaming]

Great interview.

[@FabianPyka]

up until now i legitimately didnt even know that he was locked up

[@audittrs2885]

Same lol

[@jrsuk1170]

If you followed him on Twitter when he was on (good follow btw) you'd of known. In fact the the trolls would of let you know in the replies to every single tweet.

[@juniorjones79]

He loves the camera, records himself every day in the gym but a good speaker on the darts

[@zxhj8738]

Interesting guest Maybe wayne mardle next?

[@stevecantona7405]

Chris knows he's chat

[@julieburgess3398]

He was on the door at mothercare

Worst attitude in Darts, a total Oddball.

[@dangreene3895]

I never knew this , can someone tell me why he went to prison

[@kevinduff486]

Him and 2 mates attacked a man over a row about a dog

[@karenburman1]

For hitting someone with a hammer

😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@jaysmith2858]

How about him also talking about his benefit fraud? The guy is an A grade 'git' (to put it very politely), yet he still gets hired by the likes of the PDC and ITV. It just proves that crime really does pay.

[@MachineNightmare]

You can tell he's absolutely in love with himself.

[@clownworld5474]

Agree, guy is an absolute clown

[@simonhughes6772]

Exactly bro doesn't deserve anything

[@damianleah6744]

He has an appalling record, disgraceful.

[@allkindsofgainz6988]

Should've been locked up for throwing darts.🥳🤘

[@clownworld5474]

Why do people employ this serial criminal

[@BartoniGaming]

Because people can make mistakes and deserve a chance to change there life.

[@clownworld5474]

@@BartoniGaming he made a few too many mistakes imo. Still a knob on social media as well

[@davewebster689]

No idea he even went to prison or anything tbh, so this all seems a bit like cutting the middle of a conversation out and presenting it to me. Look forward to the full one though!
