Today Lawro is up against Adrian Lewis. Lewis, who won the PDC title in 2011 and 2012, will be taking part in the new Champions League of Darts competition, which will be shown on BBC Sport in September.
He is a Stoke City fan, and went to his first game at the age of six at the Potters' former home, the Victoria Ground.
"All the banter in the practice room revolves around football," says Lewis. "Phil 'The Power' Taylor is a Port Vale fan so I always rip into him."
"My granddad took me and he told me we were going conker picking," Lewis said. "I just remember walking there and seeing everyone wearing the same shirt.
"My favourite Stoke player when I was growing up was Paul Peschisolido - I named my goldfish 'Peschi' after him. Now we've got the likes of Bojan Krkic and Xherdan Shaquiri, which shows how far we have come as a club.
"If you asked me about how this season has gone for us a month ago, I would have said 'brilliant' but the last four games have not gone to plan. Hopefully we can do a bit better this week."

Manchester City have won the Capital One Cup and reached the Champions League semi-finals, but it has still been a disappointing season for them.
It is exactly the same for Arsenal, who have been out of the title race for weeks now.
A point would pretty much make sure of third place for the Gunners but I just do not fancy them away from home at the moment. I think too many of their players are on their holidays.
City will move above Arsenal on goal difference if they win, but are in danger of dropping out of the top four if they lose.
I am going for the former - it is Manuel Pellegrini's final home game in charge of City and the players and fans will want to give him a decent send-off at Eithad Stadium.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Lewis' prediction: 2-2

I think Arsenal win this game. Man City will have a hangover, although I've never seen anything like that game at the Bernabeu. I had to watch the game and remind myself it was a Champions League semi-final. After 15 minutes, Sergio Aguero is getting the ball off the centre-half. I've never seen anything like it.
If there's ever a chance for Arsenal to win at the Etihad again, this is the game. If they don't win this game, you'd have to ask serious questions. Man City are there for the taking, all day long.
PAUL PREDICTS 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)
fuckoff Merson
