"The presentation party were lined up for six or seven sets in a row as the game went from 6-0 to 6-6. Superb." @LittleRichard shares his memories of that unforgettable 2007 final between Martin Adams and the late Phill Nixon. 👂: insidethewdf.podbean.com/e/lakeside-mem…

Richard Ashdown during his chat on the Inside the WDF podcast giving his Lakeside memories touched on one of the most well known games in the history of the tournament in the 2007 final between Martin Adams and Phill Nixon.
Ashdown spoke about the tie which went from 6-0 to 6-6 and how the presentation party was waiting for multiple sets before the conclusion with Nixon threatening one of the greatest comebacks ever to win the title.
"From 6-0 to 6-6, the drama of that game was absolutely unbeatable. From a work perspective as much as from a viewing perspective because we were all ready to wrap up all the time. We could hear the director getting Ray Stubbs and Bobby George into position, no sit down gents another set. The presentation party were lined up for six or seven sets in a row as the game went from 6-0 to 6-6," said Ashdown to the Inside the WDF podcast.
"It was reminiscent of the 1989 final because the same thing happened. As a kid watching that, Jocky Wilson being 5-0 up and Eric (Bristow) being a leg away from 5-5."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
