What a nice lad he is great to hear about his passion for rugby and darts

[@thev1lone936]

Michael Smith´s character and attitude are magnificent; i hope he will win some more tournaments 🏆

[@Chris-Top-HerB]

Scary looking character, but a thoroughly decent bloke. 👌 Totally deserved his world championship. 👏👏👏👏

[@davidhegarty7971]

Scary looking ?? 🤣

[@lukeboycott7953]

Scary?bet your the first person people ring when they get beat up

I remember playing in a small local tournament one week before the 2010 UK Open, less than 20 players on a Bank Holiday Monday at the old Sportsman's Inn on Duke Street in St. Helens... Mike was using it as preparation for the following week and he wiped the floor with everything in his way that day, didn't loose a leg, missed D12 for the nine darter numerous times throughout the day, beat Capper Welding in the semi and a post BDO world final Chizzy - to everyone there it felt like something special was emerging, and basically watching an exhibition for £3 entry 😂

[@bganonimouse2754]

One of the great things about darts is that it gives ordinary blokes (or women) a chance to stand out and earn a lot of money. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sports like tennis as well, but you don't get many people coming from the streets in that sport.

[@TedBarton91]

Same with formula one, pure rich boy sport, the amount of young people idolising people they’ll never be able to emulate cause mum and dad ain’t rich is saddening

[@jordanharrison8454]

He's a good lad is Smith and a top player. He's gonna win plenty of trophies.

[@robmitchell3864]

Michael, as a long-time admirer of yourself, even partially incorporating your style of quick expedient delivery of all three darts per round, the one thing I can't learn from yourself is language. We in the states learned English from you guys, why on earth can't I understand a single word you say?!! 😄😂🤣 Just teasing. Love ya bro (mate)

[@belah2784]

Love.... i am so ready for that Interview :D

[@jacob4690]

Played so well in the final everyone wrote him off like they always do and he proved them wrong! MVG had a fairly easy run to the final no one turned up or put it up to him and as soon as Smith did he cracked!

[@jordanharrison8454]

That's why Phil Taylor will always be better than MVG.

Wouldn’t life be easier if we all walked around in shirts with our names on?

[@jimbobJames]

St Helens is a great town

[@elephant7608]

It's quite the opposite after all. He is not the Bully but the opposite person. Fan from the Philippine Islands

[@TedBarton91]

Dunno, sounds like he bullied that baby cow a little 😂

[@pompeyjim]

He seems like a great guy but one thing I noticed, if this was a role reversal and it was a female player talking about how her husband takes all the winnings and pays her a small salary every week, and informs her that if she doesn't do well in the next tournament she'll have to give up, people would be calling that an abusive relationship.

[@TedBarton91]

But there isn’t so it’s irrelevant. Many blokes get their wives to control their finances, we’re shit with money 😂 gender stereotypes exist for a reason

[@smashyrashy]

Yes 100% that is true but women get away with murder so thats life

Michael 'Eddie Hall' Smith

[@brettwestcott8727]

I buzz of bully boy but still to this day I remember taking Jamie green over to Chilwall in Liverpool for the Winmau youth and Jay beat him in the final an smithy walked out punched a wall an broke his knuckle(s) but he's a complete different player now an I'm made up for him always in the making

[@smashyrashy]

Dunno about that

[@andrewstevens6259]

dan brown gets under barry hearn's table everyday

[@adilawrence2200]

Michael Smith is my favorite, he's just so natural and he's worked hard to get where he is. Why in goodness name did he not have access to a drink of water during this interview??? Absolutely shameful to see him in need of a drink of water and not having it available

[@richardjones2189]

😅😅He could always bring his own.

[@fourcandles9413]

Yeah when he gets to 16 WC then he can boast about that...

[@will-bp9gz]

His biggest weakness is his arrogance! Look past players who he thinks he should walk over with his c game.

Nahhh mvg spanked him in new york city
