Richie Burnett was once on top of the darts world. A fiery, passionate player from Wales, he became the BDO World Champion in 1995 and looked set for a career full of glory. But what came next was a dramatic and painful descent. From mental health struggles and financial hardship to a complete disappearance from the spotlight, Burnett’s fall from grace shocked the darts community.
Yet, this isn’t just a story about losing it all — it’s about what it takes to claw your way back. After years in the wilderness, Burnett made an unexpected return to professional darts, defying the odds and proving that the fire never truly went out.
In this video, we break down Richie Burnett’s incredible journey: the rise, the collapse, and the emotional fight for redemption. It’s one of the most honest and raw stories in darts history — and one that deserves to be told.
If you’ve ever doubted a comeback was possible… this is the story you need to see.
