DARTS superstar Peter Wright is renowned for multi-coloured mohawks, wacky outfits and face paint – but he hasn't always stood out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old beat James Wade 11-6 to land the European Championship title in Dortmund last month.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Wright, who is famous for sporting a different coloured mohawk during almost every game that he plays in, was able to show off a new hairdo – a shocking pink and purple mohawk.<\/p>\n

His hair has been yellow, blue, red, green orange and bleached blonde through the years.<\/p>\n

And on New Year's Day in 2020, he sported a purple mohawk as he claimed his first world title.<\/p>\n

The Scot normally also has a snake painted on the side of his head in honour of his favourite drink and nickname – Snakebite – and even wore an elf costume as he beat Noel Malicdem.<\/p>\n

But there was a time when he preferred to keep a low profile.<\/p>\n

During his one and only appearance at BDO Worlds Darts Championship in 1995, Wright kept it simple with short black hair and no face paint.<\/p>\n

But when he returned in 2010, he decided to go for a new look.<\/p>\n

He told The Telegraph: "If I was playing again I did not want to be that typical European player, looking grumpy, playing and going home.
"I wanted to find something and I got it in the outfits and crazy hair.<\/p>\n

"I think the players who whinge about me are jealous.<\/p>\n

"Phil Taylor said to me, 'I wished I'd thought of that years ago – it's brilliant'."<\/p>\n

Wright's wife Jo – who is a hairdresser – is responsible for making sure every inch of his hair in place before he steps on stage.<\/p>\n

He added: "The other players who complain about why I'm allowed to wear this and have my hair done like that have got it easy.<\/p>\n
