Michael Smith's nine darter in the 2023 World Championship final

Louis Hobbs is an esteemed authority on all matters sports-related. His wealth of knowledge and experience in sports make him an expert, especially when it comes to darts and snooker, which are his passions.

What is more a difficult a nine darter or 147?

I simply couldn't answer that one. All I can say is they're both significantly harder than a hole in one. You can fluke a hole in one for sure.

What is your favourite sporting quote?

Sheffield's own, Neil Warnock: "Enjoy yourself, but enjoy it by being disciplined".
