Raymond van Barneveld was recently the guest of Dutch youtuber Milan Knol for the podcast Knolcast. There, the 55-year-old Dutchman talked about his grandchildren.
Van Barneveld now has five grandchildren. "Mason is now seven and really loves darts. Although of course that is also because the sport is on television so much. A few years ago, I was at Euro Disney with him and back then he still didn't understand why I was regularly accosted for a picture."
"It would be nice if he followed in my footsteps," continued 'Barney'. "But I'm not pushing anything, he has to figure out for himself if he wants to continue in this sport."

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
