how can you say klassen is a one hit wonder! semi finalist since then hit 9 darters several finals on the euro tour and 3 time pc winner off tv the guys been consistently decent since 06

I feel so sad for Jamie Lewis, loved his WC performance

Jelle Klaasen is not a one hit wonder. He's a better player now than when he won Lakeside. He also had some very good performances in the PDC like reaching the World semi-final where he beat Phil Taylor on the way. Christian Kist is a proper one hit wonder who you missed out on.

[@joshsuu]

Also wouldnt list jelle in there 😂 However, thanks for your content, simply the best darts channel 👍❤

[@PanosDCC]

I'd argue that Mark McGeeney is another one-hit wonder, he got in the final at Lakeside in 2018 and I don't remember doing anything noteworthy since. Also, it 'd be interesting to do sort of a review of the 2008 worlds, because I think no-one in a zillion years could 've predicted the 4 semifinalists that year.

[@jackj4604]

Jelle has always had the potential to dominate darts, IMO he should be up there with MVG. He's definitely not a one hit wonder, I'd just say he's massively underachieved.

[@samirav1137]

Nah he's ass. Where has he been for the last 3 years?

[@rickyzuc]

Barry Lynn at the UK open. ‘He empties your bins, he beat the world champion, his name is Barry Lynn’. Riley’s qualifier, knocked out Gary Anderson in 2016, made QF.

[@dorotamatera6415]

Don’t really agree with Jelle here but still an amazing video 😍

[@srwilson3s2k14]

Christian Kist was a big one hit wonder! And Scott Rand!

[@ShaneCrook]

Was gonna say Andy callaby should of been on this list but then he came up

[@edem1970]

Wouldnt say Rene has disappeared, he's playing some good darts lately!

[@el_granaino7300]

Thank you very much for your awesome Videos @giacomo pietrosanti

[@nathan2497]

What about Scott Rand he burst on the scene made semi finals in a major tournament beat both Barneveld and Wade lost a tight one to Painter in the end missing match darts then he went off the scene years after also Barry Lynn is another one plus you could count Adrian Gray aswell bit similar to Shepherd minus reaching a world final ........

[@pdani8939]

I missed Barry Lynn, Adam Smith-Neale, Christian Kist or John O'Shea from the list.

[@jackdaldry2839]

Barry Lynn for sure, but is still playing really well in Braintree Super League. Know him very well

[@Dylan-gq3uu]

Bit harsh to call O'Shea a one-hit wonder, hasn't had much opportunity to do anything since he won the masters, and plays to a fairly high standard.

[@janallthewayup3546]

Thanks Giacomo

[@DartsGondel]

René Eidams actually did not disappear, he played on TV just today in the German super league. However, his form has dropped quite a bit.

[@MeddlLoide1510]

Hat aber auch nicht gerade geglänzt würde ich sagen

[@jarnekompier]

Jelle reached a world championship semi aswell didn't he? Played in the premier league too. Jamie Lewis & james richardson has done some pretty big things aswell

[@gdpm86]

Shepherd just got his tour card again

[@princessconsuela1456]

Still think it's a shame that Jamie Lewis flunked so hard after this. I really thought he'd go on and win big in the year that followed.

[@TherymasterWidnes]

Mardle was a proper bottle job!

[@JW-th4nn]

Graham Hunt who won the masters in 1997 is another one.

[@spearouys]

had a car accident which stuffed up his shoulder reason why he did not get back to the form he had then. Still plays at times but not at the level he was at before he ghad the accident

God how I miss the Darts and how I hate the Corona Virus...

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Haha love a good one hit wonder. Does Adrian Lewis deserve to make this list in a few year?

Hopefully Lewis is gonna come back. He's been through some hard times in his private life.

[@ZdzichuWiertara96]

Tbf Jelle is a two hit wonder, first when he won BDO WC, then in 2015/16.

[@mc-cm4ze]

Well no because I knew he was a good player so it's not like it was a shock he is a much better player than made out he was number 9 in the world at once I think also qfs in many events

[@nathan2497]

@@mc-cm4ze Facts 💯 no way Klaasen can be put in the same category as players like Shepherd etc

Calling Klaasen a one hit wonder is like calling Dave Chisnall or Steve Bunting one.

Surprised that Bill Davis from the USA isn't on here after beating John Part in the Worlds first round (2009 I believe?)

[@sio747]

Yeah and lost next match P.S Part was on horrible form

[@nathan2497]

Disagree on Jelle Klaasen I wouldn't call him a one hit wonder former world champion still had many deep runs in TV events was a premier league player, You could have added Christian Kist by that same logic another former world champion a good player but too many injuries have harmed his career since or Corey Cadby who made a UK open final but is still young enough to return to Darts.

[@acewing24]

Classic sour grapes Barney haha

[@finnb495]

Jelle klassen?

[@sio747]

Hit wonders in my mind Christian Kist Shaun Greatbatch Mark Dudbridge Mark Mc Geeney Aden Kirk Wynard Havenga Jamie Lewis Kevin Munch Jim Williams Scott Mitchell Jeff Smith Andy Callaby Phil Nixon Tony David James Richardson Larry Butler And of course Kirk Shepherd

[@hattz1441]

kirk shepards my uncle 😅

[@Sam-gw5pl]

Kevin McDine

[@haydnblack1767]

TBH I wouldn't have minded Rob Cross being a honorable mention. I understand he is No.4 in the world but when he beat Phil Taylor in the world championships everyone expected him to be the next best thing and he hasn't lived up to that expectation. Don't get me wrong he is an incredible darts player and I have the up most admiration for him, I just believe he has fallen short of expectations

[@nathan2497]

How can Rob Cross be considered a one hit wonder though? He has won 3 Majors so he is a class player regardless. What you described is that you feel he is an underachiever so far but not a one hit wonder.

[@Dylan-gq3uu]

One hit wonder who has one three rankings majors including the two biggest? How does that make sense?

[@gregthebaker829]

This comment has aged badly.

[@arcticchrisx7724]
