Michael van Gerwen will play in the World Matchplay for the thirteenth time next weekend with the latest Throwback Video looking back at his debut year.
Now his name is well-known around the world but back then it wasn't and the Dutchman was forthcoming when asked how to actually pronounce his name by Sky Sports presenter at the time, Helen Chamberlain after the team couldn't pronounce it.
It was that long ago that the former World Number One was sporting a head of hair. Watch the video below.

- 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
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- 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
