Personal Life

He currently resides in Fleetwood, and uses the nickname The Warrior for his matches, having used the nickname Av' It until late 2010. His younger brother Dale Newton is a former professional player, and his dad Colin is a high-level amateur player. With his close family all playing darts, he actually attributes his career to his cousin Leon, exclaiming "he used to visit every summer when we were little and teach me how to play, stand and throw correctly even though he was 5 years younger than me. I owe it all to him"

Newton and his partner Stacey have a son, Fraser Wesley, who was born in June 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    “He can have this old life anytime he wants to. You hear that? Huh, you hear it? Come on. You’re welcome to it, Old Timer. Let me know you’re up there, come on. Love me, hate me, kill me,
    anything. Just let me know it.”
    —Donn Pierce, U.S. screenwriter, Frank R. Pierson, and Stuart Rosenberg. Luke Jackson (Paul Newman)
