"Knifethower" player - who was he?

    I've been trying to remember the same of a player (and hopefully find a clip of him on Youtube) who used to to have a very unusual throwing action so that I can show my brother a clip of him playing.

    From what I remember, he used to play in the BDO (and may still do). He had long hair tied back in a pony-tail and when he lifted his dart to aim, I believe he used to briefly point the flight at the board and close his eyes for a moment too.

    I have a feeling his name might have been Dave *somethingorother* but I just can't seem to track him down :)

    Little help?
