Darts star, 39, had ‘Barney attack' on stage and smashed trophy into ‘a thousand pieces' in rage
KIM HUYBRECHTS had a 'Barney attack' on stage before his trophy smashed into 'a thousand pieces'. The 39-year-old is one of the top darts stars around. 1 Yet he has not added to the two European Tour titles that came earlier in his career. Huybrecht's first triumph came at the Dutch Darts Masters in 2013. And he followed that up two years later with success at the European Darts Grand Prix. However, Huybrechts was unable to land a third trophy in 2016 at the International Darts Open. He ended up losing 6-5 to Mensur Suljovic in Germany and missed NINE match darts. He has now opened up on the brutal event, making light of fellow darts star Raymond van Barneveld while also revealed his runner-up trophy didn't make the cut. Huybrechts told the Darts Draai Door podcast: 'That's when I had a 'Barney attack' on stage. 'We were given a trophy, of course. And naturally, I got the runner-up trophy. 'You have to do the photos first — I wasn't exactly smiling in those. I even gave a few sarcastic thumbs up to the crowd when they announced me as the runner-up. 'No middle fingers, although I really wanted to. Luke Littler taunts fans with 'crying' gesture after Man Utd fan suffers abuse at Premier League Darts in Leeds 'After the final, I went backstage and, of course, it was a beautiful glass trophy. 'Well, it didn't survive the trip. It ended up in a thousand pieces with the camera crew. 'At the next tournament, someone turned up with a cardboard box and said, 'You forgot something in Riesa.' "I opened it up, and inside were all the shards of the trophy.'
