How did Andy Fordham earn his nickname “Viking”?

It was Bobby George who gave Andy Fordham the nickname “Viking.”

The 2004 BDO world darts champion weighed 30 stones at the peak of the battle, with a big beard, long hair and a thirst of 20 bottles a day. It looks like he holds gold in Valhalla after accumulating so many plunders. The guy points to the card.

“He is a cartoon character, his forearms are as thick as most people’s legs,” George said after Fordham’s death at 59.

“You thought he was holding a giant sword.”
