Raymond van Barneveld arranges shirt swap with Tottenham star after World Darts Championship victory

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van der Ven on Friday night saw Raymond van Barneveld win gloriously in his first match at the 2024 World Darts Championship. The Dutchman defeated Radek Szaganski 3-1 in sets after a strong match.
Afterwards, Viaplay had a private chat with the five-time world champion and the Dutch international. Van der Ven was hoping to receive the shirt from 'Barney,' but didn't dare ask. Reporter Arjan van der Giessen decided to give him a hand. "He wants your shirt," Van der Giessen told Van Barneveld, who honored the request. "The shirt I just played in is for you."
Van der Ven then also promised to send a shirt of his own toward Van Barneveld's side. But the Dutch darts pioneer hoped for more. ''Also a match once. I'm often in London, so it would be nice to come and watch once.'' That got an immediate response from Van der Ven: ''We're going to arrange that,'' the top defender responded.
Van Barneveld then made another promise to come give darts lessons one day. ''But I'm not cheap,'' Van Barneveld laughed. 'Barney' will be back in action at the World Darts Championship after Christmas. Then a meeting with Jim Williams awaits.

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
UndartedWaters15-10-2024 - A tremendous final and a deserving winner in The Real Deal Mike de Decker. And Luke Humphies, despite disappointment, put up a feisty resistance and showed his class in defeat. Darts is in a great place!UndartedWaters14-10-2024
- Great result for Paul, I really miss watching the Modus Super Series As the coverage on channel 427 when on SKY TV was excellent. Does anyone know where it can be watched now.richieburnettrocks13-10-2024
