THE WORLD DARTS Championships has reached the business end of proceedings and after Prince Harry enjoyed the sights and sounds of Alexandra Palace earlier in the week, a couple of Tottenham players were spotted in the crowd on semi-finals night.
With a staggered FA Cup third round schedule, Spurs aren’t in action until Monday so Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Naughton all took time off to enjoy a night at the darts.
The Spurs defenders weren’t the only familiar faces in the house with Southampton legend Matt le Tissier and our very own Rachel Wyse of Sky Sports fame among those packed into ‘Ally Pally’
They were treated to an exhibition as Gary Anderson sprung a surprise to beat defending champion Michael van Gerwen 6-3.
The Dutchman had been strongly fancied to retain his title at Alexandra Palace, but was overpowered by the clinical Anderson in a high quality semi-final.
Anderson will face Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor as he looks to win the showpiece event for the 17th time after he comfortably beat Raymond van Barneveld 6-2.
Taylor and van Barneveld have done battle in some thrilling duals down the years and it was the 16-time champion who came out on top this time around to reach yet another final.
The final takes place on Sunday evening.
