The reigning PDC World Darts Champion and world ranked number one Michael Smith has been honoured in his hometown of St Helens by being gifted the freedom of the borough.
Michael Smith achieved his darting destiny at the start of 2023, beating Michael van Gerwen in the final of the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace and becoming the champion of the world. Now, in honour of his vast success in the world of darts, his hometown of St Helens has granted him the freedom of the borough.
Alongside Smith, rugby league legend James Roby, member of Parliament Marie Rimmer and the Duke of Lancaster regiment has all also been gifted with the honour.
The honourees are set to recieve their scrolls that officially grant them freedom of the borough some time later this year.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- 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.
