What a legend of the game. It's gonna be a sad day when he retires.

[@CalRapz]

The word legend gets thrown around to much the guys hardly won anything so how’s he a legend what a bellend 😂

[@bilkomax]

Interviewed by somebody that loves themselves far more than Beaton ever did 😂

[@martinvalentine5596]

@@CalRapz And your a bigger one

[@tomarse99]

Smoothest throw in the game. Legend.

[@hownowrybrows]

Legend... played him a few years ago at the local for an exhibition. Great bloke had time for everyone there for a chat.

[@ShowRyuKen]

Another brilliant edition of this series! Steve's a wonderful interviewee and not someone we ordinarily hear a lot from, so this was very enjoyable. Full marks again to Dan Dawson - this series is so enjoyable for us fans.

[@supercall157]

Steve Beaton and Gary Anderson two of the smoothest dart players in history

[@davidcurtis6186]

Love this man! True legend in every sense, my darting hero!

[@stephenmcconway4894]

Steve Beaton is an absolute legend 🎯👌

[@Raziel_HHL]

The Bronzed Adonis will forever be one of the best nicknames in Darts

[@focusandefficiency9359]

All the best. Part of an era where he became champ. 3 years or so was at the top on BBC

[@GusMac6129]

I remember at the Scottish open back in the 90's. Beaton came and sat beside our group, 6 pints later, your round Steve, told us all he was skint haha. Still it was a pleasure, made us all feel like kings in that Normandy Hotel Bar.

[@willbutler2850]

Absolute legend is the Bronzed Adonis. Still has all the housewives throwing themselves at him after all these years no doubt.

[@tomg3833]

The most wonderful thing about Steve (apart from having the most aesthetically pleasing throw in the game) is the way he transcends generations. He came through in the era of Bristow et al when players learnt the game in the pub and worked their way up and is still punching his weight with the youngsters today who have come through in an era of JDC, development tours etc etc. In the mid 90s he was arguably the second best player in the world behind Taylor (on par with Priestley imo). I hope one of the main broadcasters finds a role for him as a pundit when he retires. I'd happily see ITV bin off Warriner and have him instead.

[@loccosupreme9344]

True class act! Stay in the game Steve, great for Darts!! True legend!!

[@MrBigsmiffy]

What an absolutely sound fella Steve is

[@macfin4862]

My favourite ever. Hope he can have a couple of runs this year

[@lexijuliano367]

They can have an interview with every dart player from that generation and I will listen to all of them with ease.. love listening to all the stories and knowledge that comes with it.

[@michaeleverton4882]

🎯 Steve, a Very neat thrower,! ... 🎯

[@Henrik-Kyndi84.]

What a gentleman

[@Mark-P]

What a great guy!

[@jed_91]

Simple word legend

[@AdamJonesIOM]

Legend!!!!

[@boyer77]

What a legend!!

[@Sean.hinchlffe]

Makes me feel old, I remember his first appearance at Lakeside when he lost to C Johns then he went on in 1993 to bt Dennis the Menace - last of the old school masters

[@johnfowler2239]

Love working with Steve as MC in exhibitions

[@NicolaiAwesome]

Bring back the “stache”!!

[@macfin4862]

How good would that be in his last world's!!!

[@21upbowls]

Absolute legend

[@seanlinesteammvg4967]

The day he retires will be a sad day for all darts fans such an amazing man and just pure love for the game 30 plus years legend MBE surely

[@warrevandewalle3626]

Legend! Nice conversation, will be a sad day when he retires but I can't wait to see him getting a crack at the Seniors!

[@danieltucker6922]

Love him to have another good run in a tournament this year as a good send off!

[@joshhughes2116]

Legend

[@professionalgambler74]

what a star

[@andrewwickstead3802]

A true legend and always will be and will always be the sexiest dart player ever

[@iestyndavies2675]

I'd loved to have seen 'Mrs Beaton mixing it with young Steve!.

[@americathisweek.6077]

Steve is playing as well as ever as the standard these days has increased. All the events have 100+ averages and Steve is normally right there. Legend and hall of fame bound.

[@JamesRichardTaylor]

Technology with the boards and the darts themselves are as much to explain for the increased averages as the standard of the players.

[@markclitheroe900]

Can we have a Bob Anderson and Rod Harrington episodes PLEASE

[@IsrarKhan-if7xv]

You should do one with luke littler later on in his career

[@ricko3145]

Grey Adonis what a legend

[@macfin4862]

Nanette needs to start a website selling mass made Adonis shirts!

[@user-zd7ci2rc2n]

You know

[@AlastairBarker]

DAN DAWSON NEEDS TO STOP OVERHYPING EVERYTHING AND CALM DOWN.

[@thomasob1492]

Says the guy that types in capitals.

[@stiffyupperlip1851]

Steve ain´t crybaby,just pro.

[@benhulme2863]

I know you’re all jealous I got my rocks off with rock salt.

[@PuffaThePostie]

Great great player always loved watching him play but disagree about the BDO being as good as the WDC as it was then after the split Taylor Priestly Anderson etc all previous recent BDO champions were far superior to any BDO players then

[@eddiebrown9701]

You can tell by the way steve uses his walk hes a womans man.. no time to talk

[@chappo6062]

the number 1 sex symbol in the sport, hell yeah!!!

[@red8884]

The freaky thing is, this bloke isnt even 60 years old!

[@James-sx7dw]

Steve Beaton always gets beaten

[@ccg1404]

Damn Dawson interviews Welsh/Polish legend Bron Zdadonis. Pretty much ruined by persistent mic noise caused by table tapping (Zdadonis) and asinine questioning (Dawson). Whatever next? Littler Youth farting and following through whilst fellating Barry Hearn? Christ, I've seen it all!!!

[@simmybhoy72]

Rumor has it the other players wouldn't take their wives to matches if Steve was there incase they ended up in the hot tub..... Best beaton match was the comeback against Phillip Taylor at the GSOD
