Snakebite Wright plans to mo for it

PETER WRIGHT has assured fans that talk of him retiring his 'Snakebite' persona is a load of cobras.

And when the two-time world champion gets the party started against Noa-Lynn van Leuven at Alexandra Palace today, Wright insists that the man who plays the viper will call the tune again.

At last month's Players Championship finals in Minehead, Wright ditched his trademark warpaint and Mohawk barnet because he was relegated to stage two - where TV exposure was limited - and he did not want to spend hours in the barber's chair for a peep show on screen.
