Martin Schindler pulled off one of the best comeback shocks in the history of the World Series on Friday night dumping out Michael van Gerwen in a brilliant win.
Schindler was 5-1 down and seemingly cruising to another defeat to the World Number One but as MVG started to fall away, 'The Wall' picked up the pieces and won five consecutive legs to claim the win.
He spoke afterwards and said that he didn't know how he won the game but that it might be the biggest win in his career so far. He added also that it hasn't sunk in yet quite what he has done.
"It's an amazing feeling, I just can't even put it into words," said two-time World Cup of Darts quarter-finalist Schindler.
"I was shaking so much, I don't know how I won that game but I did it and right now I'm just so, so happy.
"This may be the biggest win of my career, I'm not even sure at the moment but when it sinks in I think it will be my biggest win."

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.

If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
