KYLE WALKER told Sky Sports to “get this man on more often” as he sat next to an ex-Premier League star at the darts.
England star Walker took time away from Man City’s dismal season to enjoy the action at the World Darts Championship last night.
The ace was all smiles at Ally Pally as he watched Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler seal their places in the quarters.
But despite being a high-profile visitor, Walker still engaged in the popular fan banter that has made darts one of the most popular sports around.
Many supporters love attending in fancy dress.
While others choose to spend their time downing beer and singing.
But Walker instead opted to join in with another fun activity.
Like many around him, he grabbed a blank piece of cardboard before writing a message on it.
Holding it up to the camera, Walker revealed it read: “Sky, get this man on more often please.”
The person in question turned out to be none other than former footballer Michael Brown.

The ace played for numerous teams in the Premier League including Tottenham, Fulham, Wigan and Portsmouth.
After retiring in 2018, Brown now works as a pundit.
He is often found on BBC Sport and even had Walker on his latest podcast.
Man City’s right-back was in fine spirits after coming off the bench in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Leicester.
The victory was just the second in City’s last 14 matches.
Walker will now be hoping to start in Saturday’s home clash against West Ham.
And City can perhaps get their season back on track with favourable fixtures against Salford City, Brentford and Ipswich afterwards.
