Raymond van Barneveld explains the mystery behind his cryptic nickname

Everyone's got their favourite sporting nickname, but some of them are smarter than others.

We love 'One Size Fitz Hall' and Gordon 'Jukebox' Durie, but others feel less impressive, like those which are essentially someone's first name or surname with an extra syllable tagged on to the end. Or, y'know, the ones that are literally just part of a full name. https://twitter.com/jimdalycomedy/status/295579137974874113 Of course, it's possible for some nicknames to be *too* complicated, so it's always good to find a happy medium. https://twitter.com/_AndyHa/status/798501839045959680 Dutch darts player Raymond van Barneveld is an enigma, the sort of man who is so universally popular that he has been given a whole two nicknames over his career. Darts has the likes of 'Snakebite', 'The Count' and 'Jackpot', among others, but the Netherlands native commands more attention than that. He is known to most of his fans as 'Barney', due to his purple and green skin, popularity with children and love of song, though critics have claimed it's because he's so old it feels as though he's a dinosaur of the game. But what about his other nickname, RVB? https://twitter.com/jimmygoon1978/status/798154670468452352 Is he a fan of playing as Robin van Persie on early versions of football video games? Or maybe the ADO Den Haag fan just loves rewatching that Russia v Belgium game from the 2014 World Cup. Thankfully, he provided the answer to the question that had us all floored for decades.
