Michael van Gerwen will play in the World Matchplay for the thirteenth time next weekend with the latest Throwback Video looking back at his debut year.
Now his name is well-known around the world but back then it wasn't and the Dutchman was forthcoming when asked how to actually pronounce his name by Sky Sports presenter at the time, Helen Chamberlain after the team couldn't pronounce it.
It was that long ago that the former World Number One was sporting a head of hair. Watch the video below.
