Darts career

He reached the final of the prestigious News of the World Darts Championship in 1986 losing to Bobby George. He made four appearances in the World Professional Darts Championship - with his best result coming in 1988 when he lost to Bob Anderson in the semi-finals. He became only the third player from outside the United Kingdom to reach the last four of the World Championship in the ten-year history of the tournament.

All his World Championship defeats came at the hands of some legends of darts - including two losses to five-times world champion, Eric Bristow.
