NO SLAM FUNK

Winds of change as Gary preaches peace

-  MIKE WALTERS

GARY ANDERSON locks horns with Gerwyn Price at the Grand Slam of Darts tonight, five years after their bad-tempered final, asking fans to lay off the boos.

‘The Flying Scotsman’ has won nearly every major prize in darts except the nine-day slog in Wolverhampton, where their jostling in 2018 earned Price a record fine and Anderson a warning from the Darts Regulation Authority.

Scotland’s two-time world champion had already survived the evil fragrance of ‘Fartgate’ in an earlier group match with Wesley Harms, with the Dutchman accusing Anderson of breaking wind on stage, though a security guard later admitted he had caused the stink.
