A hairy fan has been banned from returning to a darts competition – because he looks like Jesus.
Bearded Nathan Grindal was booted out of last year’s Cash Converters Players Championship after the 5,000-strong crowd saw him on the big screen and chanted “Jesus”.
The Messianic cries put Phil “The Power” Taylor off at the oche and Nathan, 34, was asked leave the event at Butlins in Minehead, Somerset.
But when he tried to return last week for this year’s tournament, security pounced on the scraggly-bearded arrows fan.
Aussie electrician Nathan said: “Two big beef-head security guards dragged me into an office and told me they wouldn’t let me watch the darts.
“I felt quite intimidated. The head of security told me they would not be letting me into the tournament as they didn’t want a repeat of last year.
“It’s not my fault that I look like Jesus.”
A miraculous comeback saw Michael van Gerwen claim the 2013 title, beating previous champ Taylor 11-7.
A Butlins spokesman said: “Based on his disruptive behaviour last year, both Butlins and the organisers, PDC Darts, took the decision not to allow Mr Grindal into the resort.”
The PDC refused to comment last night.

Let the man take part of the event because what you call reasons for banning him are not reasons at all. He is a look alike in the acting movies but not Jesus of Nazareth because no one has ever seen the Son of God.

Although there are no real images of Jesus, we know he was a jew of middle eastern arabic decent therefore we know he was not a white man with long blond hair and blue eyes (hollywood version) but he was probably a darker skinned and black curly haired man

Crap ! Who has seen Jesus before ? There is no picture or painting of him unless they mean that he looks like the actor who acted in the Jesus movie.

rev 1:14-15 says,
“his head and his hair were white like wool,as white as snow and his eyes were as a flame of fire and his feet like fine brass as if they burned in a furnace”
that is the description of yeshua your so called “jusus” when it says hair like wool, that is a sheep’s hair”a black mans hair” not hair like a horse tail “a white mans hair”.
it also says “feet like fine brass as if burned in a furnace”, you tell me whose feet or skin looks like burnt”the white man or the black man”
you should open your eyes brothers and sisters and stop believing whatever the devil(the white man) teaches you. jusus was Black just like you and me.

You are the most confused off all. On earth Jesus was born a Jew just like Galuni of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jews are semites. They are closer to white people than to blacks. Joseph in the bible looked whiter than the Eqyptians of old. Stop dreaming of a black Jesus because he doesn’t exist.

ba jj. these are not my words they are the bibles words. you lack wisdom and understanding by telling me am a confused (a fool). you have been misled and so are many brothers and sisters to even actually think that the people you call today the JEWS are were the first jews. if you have eyes then think twice, do you think the people you call today egyptians are the very first egyptians who built the pyramids?you should seek wisdom and understanding do not just read see passion of the christ and grasp evrything you see.. you have the bible read it yourself and understand.
thats why you are told David livingstone discovered victoria falls and you believe
