A World Darts Championship attendee is making headlines for dressing up as Peter Lovenkrands' dog, referencing a hilarious old Twitter interaction.
A fan attending the World Dart s Championship dressed up as Peter Lovenkrands ' dog is being tipped to win this year's competition for best dressed at the Ally Pally. Sky Sport s captured the fan during the opening leg of Tuesday's second-round clash between Dave 'Chizzy' Chisnall and 'Rapid' Ricky Evans – a game that involved legend Peter Lovenkrands , his pet golden Labrador, yet and one of the greatest Twitter interactions in recent memory. Let me explain.
Back in February 2016, former Schalke, Newcastle and Birmingham City forward Lovenkrands posted a link to an Instagram photo on his Twitter account with the caption: “12 years old today. Happy birthday my beautiful boy.” He received plenty of replies from fans, including Gers supporter David Ashcroft, who commented: “Hopefully grows up and scores goals against Celtic, just like his old man!”To the amusement of many, David clearly didn't take the time to click on said Instagram link because the 12-year-old boy in question was, in fact, a Labrador.To his credit, David had a laugh about his mistake. “I can’t believe I did that,' he wrote. 'Always click the link before replying!” He also mentioned Rangers in another tweet, asking: “ gonna sign @lovenkrands11 dog tomorrow so a don’t look as daft!” Eight years on and the Twitter interaction remains a treasured moment for many, including this darts fan who decided to pay tribute to Lovenkrands' dog, who unfortunately didn't manage to score many goals against Celtic.The idea went down a hit on social media. One fan commented: 'Hands down best Halloween costume I've ever seen,' while another wrote: 'Can’t imagine trying to explain this to someone who doesn’t get it.' Lovenkrands, who made 182 appearances for Rangers, scoring 54 goals, was a reserve team coach at their academy for a number of years after hanging up his boot
