- English player references ‘two world wars and one World Cup’
- Williams beat Germany’s Martin Schindler 4-3 in third round
Scott Williams has sparked controversy at the PDC world darts championship by referring to “two world wars and one World Cup” after his third-round victory over Germany’s Martin Schindler.
Williams won a thrilling encounter by four sets to three as the tournament resumed at London’s Alexandra Palace after its Christmas break. The qualifier fought back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to win the deciding set amid a raucous atmosphere – but it was his post-match interview that caught wider attention.
