About Me

Just want to say a sincere thankyou to everyone out there giving their best wishes, you're fantastic.
Former World Darts Champion (2004) beating Raymond Van Barneveld in the final. I am also a four-time Semi-Finalist at the Lakeside. I thought i could have a crack at the PDC champ Phil 'The Power' Taylor but he knocked me into tommorrow, damn he's good. I'm known as the viking and before a match i like to relax with 25 bottles of Holsten Pils & Six Steak n' Kidney pies although it's annoying when i get some down my shirt or a bit stuck in me beard and the cameras pick up on it. When I broke my wrist last year i thought it was the end but i came back strong with the help of my physiotherapist. He asked me to lift a beer bottle to my lips (the therapy worked beautifully). I have my shirts specially made, sell like hot cakes. I got knocked out of the 2006 championship in the first round unfortunately due to ill health i wasn't able to make 2007 showing, I'll be back.
