will it be sir wolfie soon?

[fandarts]

well will it be sir martin adams before too long? considering darts is booming and phil came 2 nd in spoty ( and had a mbe and lost it) could wolfie be going to the palace next year? another superb win in the dutch open plus the pairs, would the bookies give high odds on it to happen or is it a distinct possibility?

[Justin Credible]

not sure amateur players in sport get MBE's...so who knows

I know you are fishing, but I will bite.

No. How many sports editors picked him in their shortlist of 10 for SPoTY?

[nikkiboy]

I think he would have to win 2 more to be considered

[fandarts]

no its not fishing-phil got a mbe (and lost it)so why should wolfie not be considered? 3 world titles and improving like a fine wine-it's a considered a sport now so why should he be overlooked?

To be quite honest Fandarts, I am perplexed why Martin has not already been awarded the honour, his list of achievements is almost endless and is growing by the year, I can think of no one more deserving of and award such as this. I would think he may pick up an award next year, long overdue if you ask me.

adams has the bourne sports personality of the year award 2006.......what an achievement

[Paddy McGinty]

I believe so, I believe Taylor had one once but for one reason or another it got taken away, I think if Martin had one awarded he would treat it with the respect it deserves and would treasure it for the rest of his life, he is a real ambassador to darts, not controversial just gets on with the game and achieves remarkable results.

I see Taylor is filming another Question of Sport this week, just shows the Beeb sees him as the face of darts for both codes!

No doubt Martin would have done at - but he is manning the IT helpdesk that day.

Phil has firmly booked his place as a legend of the game, that does not nescessarily mean that the BBC see him as the face of the game but merely as the most recognisable face in the game - which he is

Aren't the contestants normally sports personalities that have either finished participating or are nearing the end of their sporting career.
