This week Jose de Sousa won the Grand Slam of Darts and entered the top 16 of the PDC Order of Merit. His nickname is The Special One and in the last months he certainly showed he is a special guy.
.
Although he is a great player he is terrible in counting at the same time. We bring you 8 funny moments by the Portuguese player.

7. Never before seen 88 checkout

6. When you miscount from 40…
Have you ever miscounted from 40? Well, De Sousa has…
?DE SOUSA'S COUNTING SCHOOL!
When you want 40 for the match, you must go D18, D2.✅

5. When you tell your opponent he won’t checkout 20…
When you oponnent is on a checkout like 170 you can decide not to go for bulls-eye with your last dart and go for single 18 to leave 32. But when he is at double 10 you sure go for bulls-eye. Well, not when your name is Jose de Sousa…
José de Sousa is helderziend!

4. Bizarre miscount from 126
Sometimes you can miscount but we all know how to finish 126, right? Well, Jose de Sousa thought he was on 136 but when he got another attempt he again went from the wrong triple by going for 20…
Jose, Jose, Jose!
Jose De Sousa once again miscounts, busting 126 by taking out 136, but he gets away with one there clinching the leg and he narrowly leads 9-8!

2. Funny miscount from 39
We all know how to checkout 39 but Jose de Sousa still needs to work in his counting…
1. Exhibtion shot goes wrong
José de Sousa had a perfect start against Michael van Gerwen during the Gibraltar Darts Trophy 2019 taking the first leg with a 112 checkout. But he got a little bit too excited in the next leg when he was on 120. He tried an exhibition shot but it went horribly wrong…
