PETER WRIGHT is adamant he can become most the oldest slinger in town and Scotland's decorated darts icon.
Snakebite starts his Paddy Power World Championship bid tonight against Welshman Jim Williams.
Wright has won it twice and, should he achieve a third, he'll create history.
At the age of 53 the colourful ace would become the oldest winner of the title.
At the same time Wright can go beyond the two crowns won by both Jocky Wilson and Gary Anderson and top the tartan ratings.
He said: "I just think it's down to your preparation. As long as you are mentally right and ready for it, eat healthily leading up to it, you can compete with the youngsters.
"They throw so fast these days, they don't look like they are even aiming. I've got to the final three times and you've got to be mentally fit to do that.
"You can't practise that at home or your local club. You can't practise what you go through on stage.
