James Wade

I used to dismiss darts as pub entertainment until players like James Wade made me reconsider. The Aldershot-born PDC professional climbed to world number two back in 2010, and the sheer nerve required to hit millimetre-precise targets under tournament pressure rivals any sport I can think of. What impresses me most is durability: staying near the top of a quiet, under-televised discipline for years is an unglamorous kind of greatness. He's also visibly close to his fans online, which suits the warmth of the darts world. He's exactly the sort of understated craftsman I find easy to root for.
