Wayne has yet to pick up a major PDC title, but has become a huge favourite since dancing his way into the hearts of the nation.

Nicknamed 'Hawaii 501', Wayne is one of the sport's greatest characters, and he has backed that up with his performances to reach the top five of the world rankings.

A former England International, Dutch Open winner and Embassy semi-finalist, Wayne reached his first major final since joining the PDC at the 2003 Stan James World Matchplay, where he lost out to Phil Taylor.

He has also been defeated by Taylor in two successive Las Vegas Desert Classic finals, and he bounced back from early exits in the 2004 World Matchplay and Sky Bet World Grand Prix to reach the semi-finals of the 2005 Ladbrokes.com World Championship.

Wayne is consistently a high performer on the circuit, and he bounced back from a poor start in the inaugural 888.com Premier League Darts to narrowly miss out on a play-off spot.
