Bobby looking fresh and fit. Great lad, real character. Gotto love him

[@zedearl5181]

This IS the funniest interview EVER!! I’m sure Bobby’s had a few jars, he didn’t even mention Taylor in his all time top six...Hahahaha 😂😂😂. Priceless!! 👌🏾👌🏾

[@robertcolcombe6893]

He didn’t say mvg was the goat either cos he isn’t , all he said was mvg was born to play darts 😂

[@scottfletcher9134]

The guy is hilarious, you have to love bobby George.

[@jed_91]

Bg is a true legend

[@JC-il6ps]

Very good interview. I think my pub team of 6 would be; Jocky Wilson, Eric Bristow, RVB, Andy Fordham, MVG and Peter Wright.

[@joshuayates3775]

Speaks so much sense get him over to the pdc

[@kristianspencer1978]

Taylor, mvg, rvb,Anderson, bristow,priestly. My six pick.

[@lukemccann]

love that you included Priestly. Legend

Bobby this guy is the man. Just wish he got to take charge of bdo 10-15 back as it wouldn’t be in the state it is the now.

[@harrymonk6]

Bdo wouldn't of let him lol

[@GCK5]

agree with bobby on the youths thing, you cant be a youth at 24 years old lmao

[@prideproductsslingshot3328]

Google the definition of the word youth, says 15-23.

[@saltynutz5347]

@@prideproductsslingshot3328 Always someone has to defend this farse

[@prideproductsslingshot3328]

@@saltynutz5347 it's a fact unfortunately. They only call it the youth world championship for the publicity and marketing, I don't know why people get so bent out of shape.

[@saltynutz5347]

@@prideproductsslingshot3328 Because it's fucking ridiculous that's why. There is always someone who has to defend it. Get off your high horse and realise that this is a farse. As Bobby George said in his interview, it's Mickey Mouse. You know it, I know it, we all know it. A 24 year old MAN, yes MAN who has a tour card, has been on the tour for 5 years playing men, then plays youth and basically steals 10k off school kids. Luke is a great player but if I was him I would be ashamed and embarrassed. I would tell him that to his face too. He knows it's Mickey Mouse bullshit

[@heavyduty96]

He's spot on about the youth title.

[@saltynutz5347]

Yeah, it's a farse

[@Zarkava8]

Great guy and was a top player, I played him in an exhibition back in 88 and he just beat me to the double in a 1001 game.

[@lukemccann]

12:46 I'd have John Lowe. I don't like John Lowe but I'd have John Lowe. hahahahahaha XD Legend

[@zedearl5181]

Bobby talks sense MVG was BORN to play darts and he’s right...the others are creeping up and Gerwyn Price is one of them. For me Michael is the most talented of ALL time but Taylor is the greatest because of his legacy. You can’t argue with both of their record’s combined. No other players come close to those two.

[@TheLoStBoYs89]

And may the Darts be with you too Grandad Bobby lol.

[@mmggmm178]

World Youth is senseless, last year there was Van Den Bergh playing the final and was already a successful player, now Humpries who has played QF in the World Championship, so what's the point

[@Tiptap1978]

Love Bobby. Also a canny businessman. An 86% shareholder of Elizabeth Duke.

[@robertspencer4009]

Youth cut off should be under twenty.

[@ruairiose7335]

I’m a big fan of Bob, but in much of this interview he’s talking in riddles. Age? Maybe. Had a few jars? Maybe.

[@michaelblackmore3492]

my 6 top would be Bristow, Bobby george, RVB, MVG, lowe, wilson

[@robertcolcombe6893]

Any top 6 with Bobby George in there but no Phil Taylor is crap

[@sg72646]

Michael Van Gerwen is a great player but Taylor for me is the best there's ever been as his record shows. Van Gerwen is an adrenaline player and as such will find it difficult to maintain such a high standard as he gets older

[@chrishaddow5644]

Same I think the same

[@Csibu89]

Try and debate this: at any given time, the most dominant, most successful player in that decade is mostly the best player ever. The best player ever is the current dominant no. 1, MVG. Now if u say greatest ever, that can only be Phil Taylor.

[@johnrafter8870]

From 7:15 to 7:30 Bobby credits olly croft with the invention of the colour television

[@trevorbrown3182]

One word legend

[@adamthedarter5162]

Love Bobby, but not a fan of his 6 man team 😆. My team would be - 1. Eric (wind them all up first lol) 2. Phil Taylor 3. MVG 4. Gary Anderson 5. RVB 6. John Lowe

[@noelatcheson4174]

Agree with him about the Youth Championships. And not a dig on Humphries, he's a damn good player. But 24 as the cut off age, that's a bit shocking and ridiculous.

[@saltynutz5347]

If I was Luke, I would be ashamed and embarrassed knowing he stole 10k from school kids

[@Zarkava8]

I think it should be for 13s to 19s.

I met Bobby last week. I’ve used Taylor’s Phase 3 darts for years, and wore a Taylor shirt. Bobby just looked at me and asked who Target was and then picked my darts up and just looked at me! Maybe doesn’t like Taylor.

[@IamTerryJ]

Béla Bá They are, but I was wearing Taylor’s Target shirt

[@saltynutz5347]

Taylor's a dickhead

[@Zarkava8]

Bobby doesn't like cheats, that's why he didn't pick Taylor.

[@kryptonitea1662]

He made a right mess of his ideal 6 players for his dream team.

[@Zarkava8]

Bobby is entitled to pick his own 6 like everyone else, whether they're the best 6 is irrelevant.

[@kryptonitea1662]

So is anybody but he got in a right flummox and initially gave 7
