Michael Smith and Chris Dobey Play Out ‘Most Insane Leg of Darts Ever Seen’
The two darts stars left the commentators lost for words after the unbelievable end to the match.
Darts stars Michael Smith and Chris Dobey left viewers in awe after playing one of the most 'insane' final legs of all time.
Nearly two years ago, English darts player Smith claimed his first PDC World Championship title with a spectacular win over three-time champion Michael van Gerwen.
A back and forth match between the pair saw the St Helens' man come away with a 7-4 win at Alexandra Palace in London, claiming £500,000 in prize money.
Of course, the match also involved the now iconic moment that saw both men on a nine-darter, leading to Wayne Mardle's iconic 'I can't speak, I can't speak!' commentary.

But it isn't only Smith's good performances that have left fans stunned, as his latest match against fellow Englishman Dobey has been branded as one of the most crazy darts legs ever seen.
On Wednesday evening, Smith faced Dobey during day five of the Grand Slam of Darts 2025, with the winner going on to play world number one Luke Humphries in a quarter-final clash.
Smith, who has struggled with injuries and arthritis in recent years, managed to keep the match competitive all the way through, fighting back to make the score 5-5 after Dobey secured a crucial break of throw.
The pair continued to trade blows until the reached the final leg with the scoreline sitting at 9-9, and it was then that they took part in a truly crazy display of darts.
Despite the fact that both men were regularly finding the triple 20, they later went on to 18 match darts between them before Smith eventually found a double four to win the leg, and the match.
Reacting to the leg, one fan wrote on X: "That's actually the craziest finish I've ever seen. Backed Smith as well, my mind was all over the place."
While another added: "One of the most insane ends to a tie I’ve seen! 11 match darts!!!"
Speaking after the match, Smith admitted to Sky Sports: "I won't say he [Dobey] didn't want it. Something happened and he kept missing and I was thankful for that.
"I should never have been in that match or been in front, I should never have won, but I will take it,"
