"I just didn’t wanna say anything stupid. But I kind of did" - Fallon Sherrock embarrassed herself in meeting Prince William

Fallon Sherrock was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) last year for her state of merit for darts. She also had a brief conversation with Prince William at that award ceremony, which she will long remember.
“Nerve-racking,” Sherrock replied, when asked by host Wayne Mardle about it on Club 501. “I remember getting there and just feeling so nervous about it, because I didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what to do. My feet were killing me from wearing heels all day. We were walking miles - I should have worn comfier shoes!”
Sherrock then had a brief chat with Prince William, but it went particularly nervously. “I think I was more worried about embarrassing myself,” added Sherrock. “Because I know you have like a little chat. I just didn’t wanna say anything stupid. But I kind of did a little bit. I didn’t mean to - to William.
“He said obviously that he watches darts on the television, and I literally turned around - so stupid - I turned around: ‘What on the TV?’ Like, really stupid – and he kind of looked at me and was like: ‘Yes, the television.’ He just looked at me plain, like, did you just say TV? I was shaking and just like: ‘Hi.’”

Remember
For Sherrock, it will always be a special memory. “You're there, and you sit in a room, waiting, and you can venture around the castle, have a look around, and all that,” said Sherrock. “Then you go sit in another room, and they tell you what you’ve got to do before you meet.
“Because you’ve got to get to one place and another place, and you're not allowed to turn your back on them and all of that, but it's like 30 seconds.”

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
