Eight of the sport’s best dartists, including Humphries, will take to the First Direct Arena stage on night 15 of the BetMGM Premier League season. It will be the first time Humphries, a lifelong United supporter, has played in Leeds. Humphries' most recent visit to the city saw him parade the World Championship trophy at Elland Road in January during United’s win over Preston, where he received a huge reception.
The amazing reception I got from the fans was something I didn't expect, to be honest and it's something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.' Humphries, who has already qualified for the Premier League play-offs, will face former world champion Rob Cross in his opening tie in front of 11,000 fans on Thursday, wearing a specially-designed shirt in United’s white, blue and yellow colours. “To win in Leeds would be right up there with my darting achievements,” he insisted.
