Price looks forward to Premier League title tilt: “I’ve done what I wanted to do but I want to pick up more trophies”

The Premier League has never been a happy hunting ground for Gerwyn Price with ‘The Iceman’ never having reached the play-offs during his three prior appearances.
This year though will be different to before with the World Champion and World Number One having a new target on his back and one where he is expected to deliver.
For Price though it is a tag he is relishing and he has more trophies in mind to add to his collection.
"I hope I can carry this baton as well as Michael has. I want to go out and enjoy myself; I've done what I wanted to do but I want to pick up more trophies," said Price.
"It's a big effort and to be number one over two years, with the standard of darts as it is now, is crazy - unbelievable.
"I think it's even more difficult than winning the World Championship to become world number one, but knowing how big the prize money is when you win the World Championship then you've obviously got a chance to become world number one.
"It wasn't something that I thought would be possible when I first started, but those dreams that I started dreaming - possibly 12 months ago when I knew it was a reality I could reach number one and I could win the World Championship - have come true.
"I won the World Grand Prix and a few other events and I knew that Michael was defending £500,000 at the end of the year, so I knew that it was possible."

- 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
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
