SportRob Cross hails Scots manager with 'no bulls***' style for saving his darts career
Cross is up against stablemate and good pal Scott Williams but has warns respect will go out the window at the oche
Rob Cross
Rob Cross says Scots manager Rab Bain saved his career.
But the Leith supremo has warned showman stablemate Scott Williams to ditch his respect for the 2018 champ in tonight’s World Championshipcrunch.
Cross needed Bain’s guidance after the Londoner’s form dropped following being crowned King of the Palace on debut seven years ago.
He’s been around the game for years and proper saved me.
There were moments during the pandemic and a year after where I had really lost my love for the game.
It was all about finding the right structure in my life with darts.
The only thing is that I’ve got to stop Scott this year.
“It’s the nightmare draw for all of us, to be fair.
“We definitely won’t be mates this year.
This is how you’ve got to be these days, it’s dog eat dog.”
