Wolfie — three-time BDO World Champion whose extraordinary titles at ages 50, 52 and 54 make him the oldest multiple World Champion in darts history and one of the most remarkable late-career performers in any sport.
Martin Adams was born in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire on 7 July 1956. He remained loyal to the BDO throughout his career, winning three World Championships while the PDC continued to attract the higher-ranked players. His titles came in 2007, 2010 and 2012 — at the ages of 50, 53 and 55 respectively. The age at which Adams was winning world titles is unmatched in darts history and genuinely extraordinary by any sporting measure. Known as Wolfie for his energetic playing style, Adams was a popular figure throughout the darts world and an advocate for the BDO circuit throughout his career.
