History

Jacobus Wilhelmus "Co" Stompé (born 10 September 1962) is a Dutch former professional darts player. He was nicknamed "The Matchstick" because of his almost bald head and very thin appearance, making him look like a matchstick. He was also one of very few professionals who play in Longsleeved shirts. He won the World Cup of Darts once with Raymond van Barneveld in 2010. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
