STEPHEN BUNTING has admitted that Peter Wright’s biggest fan lives in his house!
The former BDO world champ takes on Snakebite in a blockbuster World Championship quarter-final clash at the Ally Pally tonight.
But The Bullet fears that his own son Toby will be wearing a Wright shirt.
The father of two, said: “To be fair, my eldest son Toby is his biggest fan.
“Hopefully he doesn’t wear his Peter Wright shirt!
“I have known Peter for a long time. He sent Toby darts equipment. He is his biggest fan – I am sure he won’t be when we play.
“I have a good relationship with Peter. I have a lot of respect for what he has done for the sport, being a two-time world champion. But on that oche, it’s about me.
“When I first came over to the PDC, I used to beat him a lot. In my lows, he started beating me a lot.
“He’s a good pal but on that stage, playing for a lot of money, you want to rip his head off.
“Peter Wright is one of the best players on the planet. I expect him to bring the version of Peter that knocked out Luke. I hope he does.
“It won’t be a rollover. But it doesn’t matter what anybody else does. It’s all about me.
“Who will the crowd back? They’ll all go ‘Bunting Mental’.”
