Wade 'should give himself more credit' according to Mardle: "He's one of the most successful players that's ever lived"

James Wade sealed another Premier League Darts nightly win in Dublin and for Wayne Mardle, he believes 'The Machine' should give himself the credit he deserves as one of the best players ever.

For Mardle, he believes the constant playing down of his own form shouldn't happen.

"Wade has got the game - we know that - and he knows that" Mardle told Sky Sports. "He always mentions a lot about 'rubbish players, like me' and 'under the radar'. James Wade never goes under the radar, but he performances every now and again do.

"When he produced that 114.73 average he looked immaculate and everything about him and what he was doing was fantastic.

"He sometimes plays himself down and he shouldn't because he's one of the best champions darts has ever had.

"Because he hasn't won a world title, people do think, 'ah, that's not happened' but who cares. He's one of the most successful players that's ever lived and he should give himself a bit more credit sometimes."
