Peter Wright earned over six million pounds as a two-time PDC World Champion. Most fans still don’t know the half of it.Born while his father sat in prison. Raised by a sixteen-year-old mother who fled Scotland in the middle of the night to stop her sisters taking her son. Throwing darts at trees as a boy because a dartboard was too expensive. Years washing pots, fitting windows, laying concrete, and delivering fizzy drinks on lorries. Four to five years unemployed on fourteen pounds a week. A first full PDC season in 2008 that paid twelve hundred pounds in total. And a 2014 World Championship final where he lost to van Gerwen, went back to his room, and admitted later that he’d spent all the money and was about to quit darts entirely before Jo found out.That same man went on to win the world title at forty-nine — the oldest first-time PDC World Champion in history — and celebrated past midnight with a Pot Noodle, toast, and a cup of tea. Then won it again at fifty-one.This is the full story: the childhood, the unemployment, the thirteen-year gap between him and Jo, the daughter who found him on a laptop at nine years old, Barry Hearn overruling the PDC to approve the mohawk, Jo’s three hospitalisations in two years, and the question nobody can quite answer yet — what comes next.
