“It’s not my fault that I look like Jesus.”

A hairy fan has been banned from returning to a darts competition – because he looks like Jesus.

Bearded Nathan Grindal was booted out of last year’s Cash Converters Players Championship after the 5,000-strong crowd saw him on the big screen and chanted “Jesus”.

The Messianic cries put Phil “The Power” Taylor off at the oche and Nathan, 34, was asked leave the event at Butlins in Minehead, Somerset.

But when he tried to return last week for this year’s tournament, security pounced on the scraggly-bearded arrows fan.

Aussie electrician Nathan said: “Two big beef-head security guards dragged me into an office and told me they wouldn’t let me watch the darts."

He didn't appear in a piece of toast, nor had a cheeto shaped like him.

It wouldn't be fair to let Our Lord and Master, he who can perform any miracle, be in a position to influence the outcome of the darts match.

I don't have a good pic from back then but here is one of me without my long hair (and a freshwater drum I caught one night. It was very good eating )


When ever someone would call me Jesus I would tell them they had the wrong pantheon, that I looked more like 'Uncle' Thor:
