Bulletproof

At the oche with darts‘ biggest character Stephen Bunting grew up throwing darts in smoky Merseyside boozers, sneaked into pubs under his hood as a twelve-year-old, and learned to count by chalking scores on the side of his wardrobe. Now he‘s one of the most beloved players in the fastest-growing sport on the planet. His walk-on to Titanium sees grown adults singing their hearts out in arenas from Belfast to Berlin. This is the true, unvarnished story of ‘The Bullet‘: BDO World Champion, PDC Masters winner, Premier League giant-killer. But behind the pyrotechnics and the sing-alongs, this is a story about grit. About a lad from Fazakerley who nearly threw it all away - the gambling debts, the wilderness years, the local league night where he couldn‘t hit a double and rang his manager from the car park to say he was done. About the sports psychologist who saved his career, and the hypnotherapist who emptied his bucket. Bulletproof is about a dad who plonked his kid on a bar stool and changed his life. It‘s about a baboon in a Basel zoo, chinning a chicken and using a trouser press to warm sausage rolls. And it‘s about what happens when you refuse to give up on the thing you love most. Featuring Bunting‘s exclusive behind-the-scenes view of the professional darts tour, this is the incredible and hilarious story of life at the oche from one of the greatest personalities in the game.
