Who says darts players are fat?
Darts has an unfortunate image, it is seen by long-haired, girlie types as a pursuit, a mere hobby. This image is borne out of prejudice encouraged and massaged by skits such as this infamous one from Not The Nine O'Clock News.
However, this is a fallacy. Players such as myself, the new and ever slimmer the Lord Lucan and the positively stick-like 2Darts are regularly at the oche along with other poor emaciated souls who used to count Recess Monkey amongst their flock.
And to prove the point? Well here is picture of Mitchell Clegg, who at 16 is the youngest ever player in a World Championship. Look at him. What an athlete. Point made and point f*cked up horrendously.
