Career
He made his televised debut at the 1990 Embassy World Championship losing in the first round to Brian Cairns, but it would be another 12 years before he returned to the Lakeside Country Club to play at the tournament again. His best run at Lakeside came in 2006 when he beat Ulf Cedar and Stephen Roberts before losing to Martin Adams in the quarter-finals. Veitch has been involved in some controversy during his career.
At the 2007 BDO International World Darts Championship he refused to shake hands with Mervyn King after his defeat in the last 16.
King had been rumoured (which were subsequently true) to be joining the rival organisation, the Professional Darts Corporation. Veitch later said that he had been put off by King shouting whilst collecting his darts from the board.
Veitch has also been known to be a stickler for the rules, refusing to play games if players have access to water (in case it contains alcohol). BDO International
