Dave Askew

Dave Askew (born April 3, 1963 in Redhill, Surrey) is an English darts player who competes in the Professional Darts Corporation. Askew is twice a semi-finalist in the PDC World Championship, both in 2001 and 2002 and on both occasions losing to evantual winner Phil Taylor, rising high hopes for the man known as 'Diamond Dave'. However since then, Askew has failed to live up to the building potential and is now out of the world's top 20. In the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship he beat Martin Burchell in the first round and Alan Caves, who defeated Wayne Mardle, in round two. He was eventually defeated 4-3 by Alan Tabern in the last 16 of the competition.
