Do you have a favourite darts player?

I'd have to go with the reigning PDC champion Gary Anderson because he's a fellow Scot.

Favourite all-time player?

I used to love watching Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson. I used to like Bristow's darts and the way he threw them.

If you were a darts players what would be your name?

Well, they used to call me Terry McCann when I was a player so I would have to say Neil 'Minder' McCann would be the one.

How about your walk-on music?

That's easy - it would be Minder - sung by Dennis Waterman who played Terry McCann.

Have you ever played darts?

Yes. I'm not bad at darts actually. I used to play when I was a footballer.

Ever hit a maximum?

Yeah, I've had a few. My highest checkout was over a ton - 101 I think.
