Gary Anderson (darts player)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gary Anderson (born December 22, 1970) is a Scottish darts player. He has maintained a high world ranking, but has yet to win a major televised event. His nickname is Dreamboy.
His record at the BDO World Darts Championship is disappointing given that he has been ranked as high as world number one by the World Darts Federation. He made his debut at Lakeside in 2002 and went out to Sweden's Stefan Nagy in the first round.
He has also suffered first round defeats in 2004 (to Tony O'Shea), 2005 (to Raymond van Barneveld) and in 2007 (to Albertino Essers). His only level of success came in 2003 when he progressed to the semi-finals, losing 2-5 to Welshman Richie Davies. His other other win at Lakeside was in 2006, when he got past Gary Robson in the first round before losing again to van Barneveld in the second round.
He has won several BDO Open events including the 2006 Swiss Open and German Open.
