Woolfie finally did it. Congratulations to Martin "Wolfie" Adams of Deeping became world darts champion tonight. As he surged ahead by six sets to nil, only needing a seventh to clinch the title, the BBC2 commentary team were talking of a whitewash and the biggest ever winning margin in a final.
But it was a match of two halves - with Phil Nixon coming from within a dart of defeat to win six sets in a row, and almost snatch victory.
Woolfie - so named because he keeps wolves (no, really!), hung doggedly on and eventually won the final set to become world champion.
Woolfie's wife couldn't stand the tension - and locked herself in the ladies loo when it looked as if Nixon could go all the way...
Here's the full report on the nail-biter from The Times.

Amazing! What a match!!!
Certainly was good. Martin must have felt his chance was gone with Klaasen and Van Gerwen looming.
Come to think of it, where were the up-and-coming English players?
A classic final. I was cheering on Phil 'Nixy' Nixon all the way. His comeback from 6-0 down was electric. He's done the North East proud this week.
