The Grinch is BACK! π Peter Wright never fails to disappoint with his Christmas outfits! π What a way to mark your return to the Ally Pally stage!
A walk-on is, of course, part of a darts match, AD.nl therefore made a list of the best walk-ons so far at the PDC World Darts Championship.
With his special outfit and memorable song of 'Don't Stop the Party' by Pitbull, Peter Wright is of course on top.

On two we have Vincent van der Voort. The crowd at 'Ally Pally' loudly encouraged the Dutchman during his walk-on song 'Give It Up' by KC and the Sunshine Band.

Those who prefer dutch Hardcore music will find their liking with Dirk van Duijvenbode, who takes the stage to the tones of Radical Redemption's 'Just Like You'. "People sometimes think my walk-on is 'manufactured', but I always try to be real," said Van Duijvenbode.

Next is Leonard Gates superb walk-on which captured the hearts of the Ally Pally faithful as he not only came out to James Brown's Papa's Got a Brand New Bag but also danced and got the crowd involved.
What a way to start the night off πΊπ
Ricky Evans already took to the stage in previous years with songs like 'Baby Shark' and 'YMCA', this year the eccentric Kettering ace chose 'Merry Christmas Everyone' by Shakin' Stevens and I Wish It Could Be Christmas (Everyday) by Wizzard.
You can always rely on Ricky Evans for some madness π€£π If you aren't in the festive spirit, you will be after this...
A classic, invariably sung along by the 'Barney Army', of course, also remains Raymond van Barneveld's walk-on song. With 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor, he still has one of the best walk-ons.
Goosebumps. Just listen to the Barney Army π§‘
A song that is always eagerly sung along by the crowd is 'Don't Look Back in Anger' by Oasis. Joe Cullen can score with this again with the crowd during his third-round match against Damon Heta.
Ally Pally in absolutely incredible voice this evening for Joe Cullen... Don't look back in anger, I heard you say π΅π΅ Unrivalled atmosphere π
And finally, another classic with 'Seven Nation Army' by The White Stripes, inspiring the audience to loudly sing 'Ooooh Michael van Gerwen'.
