He says there's plenty left it in him and that when he turns up, he's still the man to beat and one of the best players in the world. "I'm sorry, but I've got to say we haven't seen Michael turn up for a while now. We've seen flashes of brilliance.

Lloyd, who retired in 2016, added: "Has that little bit of spark gone from Michael's game? Fans sing along to Luke Littler's walk-on song as darts star shares footage from stage "He'll turn up and he's got all the good intentions of how a champion is. You don't turn up to make the numbers up, you turn up to win." But if Lloyd thought Van Gerwen would be stepping away from the oche any time soon, he'd be sorely mistaken. Last December at the World Championships, Van Gerwen vowed to 'be on the scene for a little bit longer'. "If you look at my rankings this year, I'm still in the top four or five," Van Gerwen said. "Can you imagine when I play well again? I will be really dangerous." 2 Colin Lloyd retired from darts in 2016 Credit: Getty
