Ahead of tonight's World Grand Prix final including Michael van Gerwen, we take a look back at his first triumph on the Emerald Isle.
Van Gerwen was taking on Mervyn King in the final; who also that year came through as a ProTour qualifier so wasn't even seeded.
King went 4-1 up and was seemingly on his way to victory; but Mighty Mike came back to win five sets in a row to claim a 6-4 victory in stunning circumstances.
This was the making of Mighty Mike who from here went on to become the real dominant force in the world of darts.

- Well done Mike – good to move on and look to the future. With his talent, and increasing confidence on stage, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the month ahead.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
