Peter Wright is adamant he can become the oldest slinger in town and Scotland’s most-decorated darting icon. Snakebite starts his Paddy Power World Championship bid on Wednesday against Jim Williams.
Wright has won it twice in the past and, should he achieve a third, he’ll create history. At the age of 53, the colourful ace would become the oldest-ever winner of the title.
At the same, Wright can go beyond the two crowns won by both Jocky Wilson and Gary Anderson and top the Tartan ratings. He said: “Personally I just think it’s down to your preparation.
As long as you are mentally right and ready for it. Eat healthily leading up to it, you can compete with the youngsters. They throw so fast these days, they don’t look like they are even aiming.
