Ray D'Arcy

One of the best hookers in the world at the moment, if not the best.

He's a great athlete.

Basketball players are referred to as great athletes.

football players, great athletes.

I remember back in the day, during the den, when one of the lesser popular children's programmes was on, we would watch the darts, you know, around January when the darts was on.

And I think one of the commentators referred to Phil Taylor as a great athlete.

And I laughed out loud for about 10 minutes.

Yeah.

But it's changed.

That's the way words are used and people are great athletes.

Maybe not.

Maybe not darts players.

Isn't that the definition of a sport?

A sport is something you need to change your shoes to take part in.

And of course, you don't have to change your shoes to take part in darts.

So by that definition, darts is not a sport.

But still, when you look at Luke Littler and you just go, wow, like that's, there's something very special, something very skilful there that deserves our praise.

It does.

Step back in awe.

Shoes.
