STEPHEN BUNTING is dreaming of a Liverpool clean sweep next year — and hopes to show Mancunians what silverware looks like next month. The Bullet heads into the third round, where he faces Latvia’s Madars Razma, with hopes of a deep run at the PDC World Darts Championship.

Only four men: Dennis Priestley, Phil Taylor, John Part and Raymond van Barneveld have managed to win world titles at PDC and BDO level. That is the challenge bespectacled Bunting faces now, 11 years after he was King of Lakeside. Should he succeed over the next ten days then the mad-keen Liverpool fan would love to show off the tungsten pot ahead of the Reds’ home game with deadly rivals Manchester United on Sunday January 5.

Especially as Arne Slot’s Premier League leaders are in contention for several trophies this campaign. Bunting, 39, said: “I’d love to do that again. I did that when I won the Lakeside trophy but at that time, I didn’t have a massive fanbase. “I’m walking around the pitch, no one knew who I was, and they’re all singing: ‘There’s only one Phil Taylor’.
“If I win this title, everyone will know who I am — and I might even get a couple of people cheering for me. That’s a dream that I can only think about so early in the tournament. “But yeah, that’ll sort of push me through and I’d love to be able to do that.
