Martin Wolfie Adams shares his thoughts on returning to the Grand Slam, singing at the darts, his health scare, and missing a pre-match drink... At the age of 60, Adams has seen it, done it, and worn the t-shirt, with that identifiable nickname of Wolfie emblazoned on the back. The three-time Lakeside champion caused a stir in the sport when he finally agreed to take part in last years Grand Slam of Darts, a tournament which pits BDO players against their rivals from the PDC. Not even an ongoing battle with cancer could prevent the much-loved Adams from returning this year, such was his enjoyment of that maiden appearance. Martin Adams registered three three-figure checkouts in a group stage victory over Ian White He lets out that familiar throaty chuckle when asked about the prospect of facing the big names from the PDC again at Wolverhampton.Were all darts players, we can all do it on our day, Adams told Sky Sports.Its not like anyone is playing with four darts and youve got one poor bloke only playing with three or two. Its a level playing field.Adams has been drawn in the same group as Michael van Gerwen, the PDCs all conquering world no 1, and they will share the oche this Saturday night, live on Sky Sports. MVG: The greatest or the best? Michael van Gerwen reveals psychology needed to overthrow Phil Taylor Few have been able to thwart MVG on his relentless title hunt this year, but Adams has been on the receiving end of painful upsets himself, and will be hoping to display the vintage finishing that saw him progress from his group in 2015. Its all about having an enjoyable game, playing the best you can and entertaining the crowd that youve got with you. Martin Adams Darts is very much on the day, he said. We all have our bad days. Youve seen that with the Grand Prix. Someone you might expect to win, this time round hes lost. A bad day at the office, so you shrug your shoulders, put it behind you, and move on.Its all about having an enjoyable game, playing the best you can and entertaining the crowd that youve got with you. Adams admits the atmosphere has changed at live matches Wolf howls filled the air as Adams, ever the entertainer, happily interacted with the vociferous crowd at Wolverhamptons Civic Hall.But the veteran freely admits that sold-out arenas with a raucous atmosphere are far removed from the venues where he learned his trade.There is a lot more crowd noise than there ever used to be, said Adams. I remember the days of flat caps and playing with your jackets on, and stuff like that. The 60-year-old enjoyed his first appearance at the tournament in 2015 It was all deadly quiet in the pub when you were playing darts. If people sneezed, there was always someone that got upset about it.Its got a lot more noisier and rowdier, but I just hope and pray that it never really gets out of control. The singing and the chanting, if thats what people want to do, at the end of the day they have paid for their tickets.I cant say I wholeheartedly agree with it. But they have bought their tickets havent they? Mardles group of death Wayne Mardle selects most dangerous group in Grand Slam of Darts One of the time honoured traditions that Adams missed 12 months ago, was a swift pint in the practice room.The absence of a bar was greeted with disbelief and Adams joked about the lack of banter as he rubbed shoulders with players from the PDC.I just couldnt believe what I was seeing, laughed Adams. There was no bar in the players room, thats got to be sorted out. People have a little drink, have a chat, and there is always a few wind-ups, a bit of banter going on and so forth. Martin Adams A lot of players like a good drink when theyre playing and before they are playing, maybe a couple of bevvies afterwards. If youre at one of the ranking events - I dont know what their PDC ones are like because Ive never been to one - but at our ranking events, there is always a bar. People have a little drink, have a chat, and there is always a few wind-ups, a bit of banter going on and so forth. I missed that side of it. Grand Slam order of play The full order of play for the Grand Slam of Darts. A shock to the system is how Adams described his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, but his long-standing love for the game remains and he will be sporting that trademark smile, regardless of the result.If I take part in a tournament, I take it as it comes, said Adams. If it goes well, it goes well, if it dont, it dont.Exhibitions are obviously a lot easier to do. You havent got to worry about form, you just throw the darts and have a bit of a fun along the way, even if you lose a few more than maybe you would do. Youve just got to keep laughing.Watch Martin Adams against Michael van Gerwen in the evening session on day one of the Grand Slam of Darts, starting at 7.30pm on Sky Sports 5.
