THROWBACK VIDEO: Raymond van Barneveld's fantastic walk on at first ever Premier League in Ahoy Rotterdam
PDCTuesday, 22 March 2022 at 15:02
The first Premier League night (2016) in the Netherlands was perhaps one of the most beautiful nights in Dutch darts history and the walk on of Raymond van Barneveld was perhaps the best moment of the night.
Applauded by nearly ten thousand fans, the five-time world champion entered the stage to then receive a hero's welcome from the Dutch public.
"I have won many titles, but I have never experienced an evening like this in my career. An indescribable feeling. Really bizarre. It was probably the best moment of my career", Van Barneveld said at the time after the game against Peter Wright (6-6).
Next Thursday, the Premier League Darts returns to Ahoy Rotterdam for the first time since 2019. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition was only played in the United Kingdom in 2020 and 2021.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
