The Gentle — Austria's greatest darts player and European Championship winner in 2017, whose distinctive slow walk to the oche, methodical approach to each dart and consistent top-ten performances made him one of the PDC's most recognisable performers during his peak years.
Mensur Suljovic was born in Vienna, Austria on 22 August 1970. He established himself as the most successful Austrian in world darts history, reaching the world's top eight and winning the European Championship in 2017. His deliberate, methodical approach to each dart — taking longer than almost any player on the circuit to settle at the oche — earned him his nickname and made him immediately recognisable. He was named the only Austrian player ever to win a PDC major title.
