Soutar couldn't believe incredible comeback: "In my head, I was dead and buried"
PDCThursday, 23 December 2021 at 20:05
Alan Soutar was unbelievably able to make the Last 32 at the PDC World Darts Championship on Thursday afternoon.
He trailed 2-0 in sets and 2-0 in legs against Mensur Suljovic and survived eight match darts but triumphed in a deciding leg.
“I can’t even describe that match,” said Soutar to the PDC.
“In my head I was dead and buried and something just clicked. I was just trying to win another leg.
“You don’t give up in that position but you kind of just relax and the scores start coming. That’s exactly what happened.”

- This dozy wooden air head doesn't have a clue about darts and is more concerned about what to wear. Ultimately, SKY continually make it the Lego head show.richieburnettrocks28-01-2026
- More Challenge Tour guys have made the final round than top 16 seeds - Tweddell, Waites and Hall Vs Ratajski and Nijman. Further evidence that we need to stop protecting the guys coasting in the 20s and 30s in the rankings. PS Respect to Beau on her first day, some great wins and averages and the hardest £1k she'll ever earn as a pro!Scoobedybop28-01-2026
- Mesmerising words from the greatest darts player and World Champion and Masters Champion. Richie is such an interesting character and so charismatic. Such a shame Richie can't remember every moment as it would be absolutely fascinating to hear these stories and share those memories. The complete opposite of today's charisma vacuums Richie Burnett absolutely rocks!!!richieburnettrocks27-01-2026
- At last, someone honest saying how it happened.! Well done. But sadly,what could have been. World masters and world champion. Not many can say that! Good ladrick6726-01-2026
- I'm not interested in a single word Mardle has to say unless it's goodbyerick6725-01-2026
- Exactly why he's no longer elite. Doesn't have the mindset anymore.BandB24-01-2026
- Vdv telling mvg what he's being doing wrong? Vdv,get your darts back out, you're getting as bad as Mardle now. I noticed both of you both won multiple majors? No! I need say no morerick6722-01-2026
- Maybe he should write a book about it called murder on the dart board, and can branch out to a podcast. He can call that the wrong bed.BandB21-01-2026
- fact is, the majority of people don't agree with you (read i.e. any reddit post on the subject, where the consensus is the likes of mardle and dawson are the best out there). personally i'll miss oatley but i consider most of the others to be dinosaurs with the combined personality of a cardboard box. warriner-little's "THE BULL" gimmick is affected and cringeworthy and he's never had the charisma for a commentary job.colt18-01-2026
