In the series "Elmars Neundarter" on the German channel DAZN famous darts are asked some questions. Dimitri van den Bergh was asked who his childhood idol was.

The Dream Maker tells that he has always been a big fan of Gary Anderson: "My idol before, when he still played in the BDO, was Gary Anderson. Then he went to the PDC and disappeared from view for me. I wondered then if he had retired, but no. Then they told me what the PDC was. I didn't know that at the time."
