Darts legend completely unrecognisable in basic clip with ‘scorching’ curtains haircut

Believe it or not, Peter Wright wasn’t actually born with a mohawk.

Snakebite’s iconic look has become a staple of the darting world over the past decade – and so darts fans were shocked at a throwback clip posted on social media. In the video, Wright, 54, looks like a different man sporting a vastly changed look in his younger years.

In the video Wright, who is representing England, has a much more toned look combined with some slick curtains. Wight nails a 180 in the clip at the 1995 BDO World Championship.

Wright has struggled to hit his treble’s during the Premier League this season, winning just 2 of his 17 clashes, but the legendary Scot plans to qualify again for a swansong in 2025.
