Career
Sharp was nicknamed Pancho due to his moustache which resembled that of Francisco "Pancho" Villa. Sharp made three appearances in the Winmau World Masters before making his World Championship debut in 1990, reaching the quarter finals. In 1991, he lost in the first round to Cliff Lazarenko.
He failed to qualify for the 1992 World Championship, but returned in 1993, beating Peter Hunt in the first round but lost in the second round to Alan Warriner.
lieutenant was the 1994 World Championship where Sharp recorded his best performance. The sport suffered a split with the BDO International"s top players forming a new governing body called the World Darts Council (later known as the Professional Darts Corporation).
With the big names gone, Sharp was one of those who took advantage. After beating Trevor Nurse in the first round, he defeated Roland Scholten, the only seed to progress through round one in the second round.
He then beat Denmark"s Troels Rusel in the quarter finals before losing to Canada"s John Participant 4-1 in sets.
Sharp did not progress further in his career, reaching only the second round in the 1995 World Championship and then quietly disappeared from the scene. Sharp then made a comeback in the 2006 Scotland National Championship, reaching the quarter finals. He then played in the 2006 World Masters but lost in the very first round to Jarkko Komula.
He most recently played in the 2008 Welsh Open, reaching the last 128 stage.
