Joe Cullen leaned in expecting the usual words, and instead Gary Anderson said something that made him spin around on live television and follow the Scotsman off the stage to demand an answer. The word Anderson used was cheat. And Cullen has never forgotten it. That single accusation tells you almost everything about the man people call the Flying Scotsman. Cullen is far from the only player to hear something like it. Phil Taylor tickled Anderson under the chin at the ockey in the 2015 World Championship final. Anderson fought through the sets, won the deciding seventh, and has never spoken a bad word about Taylor since. Wesley Harms blamed a foul smell on stage for a ten-two defeat, Anderson swore on his children's lives it wasn't him, and then delivered the line that made the whole thing immortal — that usually if he farts on stage, he messes himself. Fartgate went global within hours. The 2018 Grand Slam final against Gerwyn Price produced the most serious clash of Anderson's career — a push, a walk-off without a handshake, a DRA investigation, and a record fine of twenty-one thousand five hundred pounds that landed on Price, not Anderson, with Anderson receiving only a formal warning after the committee found extreme provocation. Daryl Gurney heard the word cheat at the 2018 World Grand Prix. A 2020 Grand Slam post-match interview produced what reporters called a bizarre tirade about players snarking in his ear and "calling it gamesmanship but I call it cheating." Wayne Mardle suggested crowds could help speed up slow play and Anderson called him a numpty on live television. Joe Cullen was told at the Rotterdam handshake in 2022 that he knew what he did — and genuinely didn't. And Michael van Gerwen has called Anderson a part-timer since at least 2022, to which Anderson replied by wondering aloud how much of a nightmare it would be for the PDC if a part-timer won a TV tournament. Then there's Mensur Suljović, the slow-play torment Anderson described as an absolute joke of a game. The retirement threat was real. So was the observation that Suljović seemed to be slower in the sets where it suited him. One thread connects all seven. Anderson has never started a feud for attention. Every clash traces back to the same belief he has stated his whole career — you throw, you step aside, you let the other man throw, and you don't slow the game, crowd someone's space, or use gamesmanship. The clashes are real. The hatred mostly isn't. RIGHT NOTICE: The Copyright Laws of the United States recognize a "fair use" of copyrighted content.
