However, Helen Chamberlain told Gulliver, the most successful female darts player in history who has won the women’s trophy at Lakeside a record ten times in her career, that one fan had a surprise for her when she began the post-match interview.

Chamberlain declared, “One person was of the opinion that the winner of one of those trophies should take care of it. This is Pete Turrell from LP Metal Detecting, the individual who purchased the Ladies World Championship trophy for you to maintain for as long as you like.”

Gulliver made the following remarks to Chamberlain after receiving the historic trophy: “That is beyond belief. I am so grateful.”

However, when the camera cut to him wiping the happy tears away, even Wolfie was unable to hold back.
