These are ten professional darts players whose careers ended in bankruptcy, prison, long bans, rock-bottom poverty, or a public admission of financial trouble big enough to get them banned from running a company. The taxman finished some of them. Drink and drugs took others. A handful destroyed themselves with a single decision that could not be undone.
One world champion drained rusty water from a radiator to make a Pot Noodle alone in a Wigan hotel room. Another was delivering two hundred Amazon parcels a day for twelve pounds a shift during COVID. A third died on disability benefits in a council flat, seventeen years after beating Eric Bristow in a world final watched by eight million people. One pleaded guilty in a courtroom and every career revenue stream closed the same afternoon. And the player at number one earned over two million pounds in prize money and did not understand that prize money is taxed — until HMRC sent a bill for five hundred thousand pounds there was nothing left to pay it with.
His own words: “I hid my head in the sand.”
