Bully Boy said he was fired up by sneering Snakebite before the Auld Enemy semi-final clash.
The English hero savaged the Scot after teaming-up with Luke Humphries to lift the title. Smith and Humphries beat Austria in the Final, but Bully Boy says he was fired-up by the antics of Wright prior to the last-four Auld Enemy showdown. Following Scotland’s scrappy last-eight win over Sweden, Snakebite blasted out in a TV interview that he and team-mate Gary Anderson were going to “smash” the English.
“That guy should have some strong shoulders because he has been holding up the Premier League for two years. Then he had an argument, well not an argument, he was trying to give me a bit of banter behind the stage, but Peter, you’re not good enough, mate. He annoyed me and that spurred me on in that semi-final. I needed to get that out because it really annoyed me.
Humphries also enjoyed the success as he stated: “That’s the most I have celebrated and been up for darts in a long, long time. I was really up for it, I really wanted to win. Being World Cup champions, No team has done it in eight years, so obviously it’s a tough thing to do.
