From 'The Crafty Cockney' persona created by Eric Bristow in the late 1970s, through the SKY TV, wrestling inspired, makeover over of the 1990s, all the way to todays multi media world it has always helped if a darts star had an identity to make them stand out from the herd and grab the attention of fans both live and watching on their screens.
