PRICE PUTS HIS FAITH IN AN ACT OF COD

Iceman has abandoned the cans this year, and his new venture is a fish and chip shop

GERWYN PRICE has discovered a new way to get battered after his dustbin-lid headphones stunt he is opening a fish and chip shop.

The 'Iceman' whipped up a storm by wearing industrial ear defenders to try and block out the noise of a hostile AIexandra Palace crowd last winter and now admits it made the problem "10 times worse".

But the former world No.1, who is branching out into cod, haddock and plaice in a new takeaway venture in his home village of Markham, insists he has no regrets about those canseven some though critics thought he was a right pollock for doing it.

Price goes into the Paddy Power PDC Darts World Championship, which starts on Friday night, as one of the favourites, even though his only triumph at AIly Pally was behind closed doors and the only boos were on the soundtrack of piped-in crowd noise.
