Darts

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Anyone on here like Darts?

Well it came as a surprise to me that my cousin Michael, who was born and brought up in Germany, is one of the top players over there and recently reached the last 32 of the German Open. Not an event just for Germans, it included players like Tony O'Shea and Martin Adams (the England captain). See link - about quarter of the page down

Nobody has ever mentioned this to me, even though we keep in contact, and more of a surprise as he only took up the game a few years back after retiring from semi-professional football in Germany.

Anyone else got any sporting high achievers in their family?

My cousin had the potential to be a player in the NBA and was even wrangled over by several Canadian and American colleges in his youth, but he "accidentally" started a family and game it all up (so the story goes)!
