Van der Voort doesn't need a nickname: 'Doesn't mean anything to me'

Almost all top players in darts have a nickname nowadays. Vincent van der Voort, however, is not a fan of it.
Van der Voort was originally given the nickname 'Fast Vinnie'. "That is made up by the PDC or broadcasters. I have no say in that and fortunately so, making up your own nickname would be a bit sad. They did ask me what I thought of it. I didn't like it at all, I'm not a fan of nicknames anyway. At the moment I'm not the fastest player in the world anymore by the way," Van der Voort says on the podcast 'Everybody Loves Darts'.

Currently, 'The Dutch Destroyer' is the nickname of the 45-year-old Dutchman. "I don't like that at all either, it doesn't mean anything to me. That nickname was previously given to another Dutchman (Arjan Moen) by the way. Oh well, some players love a nickname like that, they just do."

The PDC choose the nicknames ? Some of them are dreadful The Gentle is the worst, the gentle what? The asp is dreadful, Price is the ice man but he is the opposite
Gentle Giant i would assume. Slowhand might be better though his speed has increased a bit. Red Dragon would perhaps be better for Price.
Is Dolan forever going to burdened with the HistoryMaker, something he did a decade ago.
Rob Cross would be better as The last dart leg striker … got a ring to it.
