"Got the message from Alan Shearer" Chris Dobey counts Toon icon as biggest fan and has aims to bring World Championship trophy to St James' Park

Chris Dobey experienced his big break in the PDC this year. The 33-year-old Englishman won the Masters and made his Premier League debut as a result.
It was the first major for Dobey. During a home game of his beloved Newcastle United, he got to show that trophy to the supporters. ""You would want it to be the world championship but any major will do - just to be on that pitch. When I go to the stadium and stuff and get noticed it's pretty surreal, I just go to enjoy the matches but speaking to fans is special," Dobey told Daily Star.
Dobey can even count a Toon icon as one of his most famous supporters. "When I won the Masters got the message from Alan Shearer as well, It was just perfect."
Dobey also got to participate in the Premier League Darts earlier this year as a direct result of his Masters title win. "I think it's brought my game on massively. Leaps and bounds and I think I can take confidence, I can take experience out of that," concluded 'Hollywood'.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
