Mike De Decker reveals how he got into playing Darts after beating Luke Humphries to win The World Grand Prix.
Were it not for clearing out a room as a teenager, Mike De Decker may never have been bitten by the darts bug.
"He played 25 years ago but then stopped because he had his own business. 12 or 13 years ago, he wanted to start playing again but he didn't want to go alone. I said, 'You know what, give me a set of darts and I'll go, so you don't have to go alone.' That's where it started." But the Belgian channelled the underdog energy throughout his entire run and he credited that backs-against-the-wall mentality for his sparkling run to victory."I wasn't the favourite against Gary , I wasn't the favourite against Damon Heta in my first round, not against Wade."They have been around for a long, long time, so I knew what I had to do. I just relaxed. It's the first time I was really, really relaxed on stage and been able to play my game.
