"Eric's a legend. Loved him, he was one of my best mates. If it weren't for Eric, I wouldn't have even picked up a dart back in the day, it's just a nice tribute. I am really pleased to put his shirt on and win while I'm wearing it," said Painter to Online Darts.

"This would have been Eric all over, it's a shame it wasn't going on when Eric was still around, bless him. He would have loved this.

"Even if he wasn't playing in it, he would have loved all the surroundings of it. He'd have loved this, he really would."
