#441: Mike Norton, UK Open Review

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the UK Open! The boys start off the show with a look back at the UK Open and discuss the champion Luke Littler's chances of completing the clean sweep of PDC major titles, before reflecting on James Wade's run to back-to-back UK Open finals and coming within one match again of another major title. The Concierge UK Seniors Darts Tour's tournament director Mike Norton (21:23) joins the show for an in-depth chat looking back on his eventful life from his time spent as a semi-professional footballer and then a motocross rider, to a bad injury on the bike that led to him picking up darts at 49 years of age. Mike talks about unexpected practice sessions with Gary Anderson, his memorable run that saw him qualify for the 2018 UK Open, offering advice out to Justin Hood and Luke Littler, and now being involved in the Seniors Darts Tour, running events in the UK and venturing abroad into Spain this year. Alex and Burton continue their UK Open review by picking out their favourite moments of the tournament, before the boys finish up the show with a dip into the mailbag to answer your listener questions.
