Dennis Priestley

Dennis Priestley, born on 16 July 1950 in Mexborough, Yorkshire, is an English former professional darts player who competed in British Darts Organisation and Professional Darts Corporation events. He is a two-time world champion and was the first player to win both the BDO and the WDC world championships, now the PDC championship, taking them in 1991 and 1994 respectively. He was nicknamed the Menace after the Beano character Dennis the Menace, and reflected this by wearing red and black and using red and black flights. His two titles, three years apart and won under two different organisations, are what make him a notable figure in the history of the sport.
