PART 1 | : RYAN SEARLE: FROM WINDOW CLEANER TO HEAVY METAL DARTS STAR 🎯🤘🔥

This podcast is only possible thanks to the amazing support of our sponsor.: www.target-darts.co.uk <- In Part One of the incredible Ryan Searle story, discover how a boy from the quiet countryside of Devon became one of the most recognisable stars in professional darts. Ryan grew up playing football, rugby and skateboarding while secretly struggling with a rare inherited eye condition that left his vision badly blurred. He later worked as a window cleaner, threw enormous 32-gram darts and developed a love of heavy metal music that helped create his perfect nickname: Heavy Metal. We follow Ryan from his first bedroom dartboard into local pub leagues, through one of the strangest refereeing mistakes in darts history and onto the gruelling PDC Challenge Tour. Then comes his breakthrough at Alexandra Palace, enormous battles with Gary Anderson and Michael Smith, and the unforgettable night he defeated world number one Michael van Gerwen to claim his first senior PDC ranking title. This is a story about courage, risk, resilience and trusting your throw, even when you cannot clearly see where the dart has landed. Learn more about your ad choices.
