Darts star Ted 'The Count' Hankey beats Steve West
Former champion darts player Ted 'The Count' Hankey managed to defeat Steve West 3-2 and progress to the second round of the BDO World Championships, in spite of having problems with the audience who booed him.
Ted Hankey was clearly upset in the third set due to the boos from some of the crowd, and the referee had to intervene.
Ted Hankey said: "Parts of the crowd were very naughty, in fact, a real disgrace, but there is no place for it here. Never in the 11 years at this tournament have people booed when I have been throwing."
Ted Hankey also said: "This is a professional tournament - the real world darts championship - and that kind of behaviour does not have a place here."
However, eventually Ted Hankey composed himself again and went on to win the game. Ted Hankey now goes on to play against Andy Boulton in the second round.
