Gerwyn Price appears to QUIT darts after Ally Pally exit as World No 1 forced to wear ear defenders to block out boos

Published on January 01, 2023 at 09:45 PM

GERWYN PRICE threatened to never play in the PDC Darts Championship again as he crashed out after wearing EAR DEFENDERS to block out booing fans.

The “gutted”; World No1 seemed to blame the hostile Ally Pally crowd following his shock 5-1 mauling against German Gabriel Clemens in the quarter-finals.

The top seed returned from a break at 3-1 down to don headphones for one set as supporters continued to give him stick.

But the change did the Welshman little good – and afterwards he promptly posted on Instagram that he is considering QUITTING.

The Iceman, 37, wrote: “So frustrating, you play all year round preparing for this one tournament.

“So gutted I wasn’t let play but Good luck everyone left in. Not sure I will ever play in this event again.”;

Price has regularly been targeted by fans since the controversial argy-bargy of his notorious win over Gary Anderson in the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts final.

He was later fined a then-world record fee of £21,500 – reduced to £11,500 on appeal.

But viewers were sceptical about Price’s suggestion he might not return to the Ally Pally.

One posted: “He can’t be serious, right? The crowd were fine until he put on those hilarious earmuffs.

“Fabricating a rivalry with the crowd to excuse his mid performance, not unusual.”;

But some fans claimed he deserved the booing he receives because of his “arrogance”;.

One said: “He rarely shows any respect to other players, a very bad loser and terrible sportsmanship in general.

“He tries a bit more now granted, but done the damage with fans early on in darts career.”;
