About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Booze, bullseyes and (more) booze.
Humanity has come a long way in the 500,000 years since Neanderthal man first started chucking spears around. Or has it? In his blisteringly funny new book, former professional player Wayne Mardle, whose crowd-pleasing antics were even more lively off stage than they were on, blows the lid off one of the UK's biggest televised sports.
Known in darts circles as Hawaii 501 on account of his colourful Hawaiian shirts (yours for just 45 quid - he's got a garage full of them), Mardle remains one of the planet's most recognisable players, having performed on the world stage during a professional career that saw him play all the greats and, quite frankly, lose to most of them.
In this witty (frequently), honest (largely) and poignant (twice) guide to life both on and off the oche, Mardle delivers world-class advice - such as why you shouldn't go on a two-day Vegas booze bender before a major PDC final, or how to avoid going live on European TV with a string of expletives so outrageous that clips are still replayed, years later, on Belgian telly. Some are lessons Mardle learned the hard way; others, like why it's best to avoid being sued by a well-known biscuit manufacturer, are gleaned from green-room gossip spanning decades.
©2021 Wayne Mardle (P)2021 Penguin AudioAs a darts obsessed teen who hopes to go into punditry/commentary, this book was brilliant and inspiring. And, whilst I won't spoil it, there are some truly howl with laughter moments.
And, without doubt, it was better hearing it read by the great man himself. Any future audiobooks will struggle to follow on from this.
A wonderful experience, I can't recommend it enough.
