Raymond van Barneveld is one of the most successful darts players in history. The 52-year-old Dutchman, known to his fans as 'Barney' - is a five-time world champion, a two-time UK Open Champion and a former winner of the Las Vegas Desert Classic, the Grand Slam of Darts and the Premier League as well as a host of other titles.

But much to the disappointment of his fans, the "Barney Army", he's retiring after the current Australasian tour for the World Series of Darts. Barney was competing in Hamilton recently his last visit to New Zealand on his swansong world tour after a 32 year career, and shared his story with Kathryn.
