A biography for Rob Crosshasn’t been written yet.
“I'm really happy in the Premier League, everything's good at home with the family and sponsors and everything. Life can't be any better.”
“Once I got my card, I had a goal to make the top 64 and to try and keep my Tour card for the following year and to progress nicely. But to progress at the rate I have, and to feel as comfortable as I am starting to feel - I have to pinch myself.”
“I was someone who used to live a sheltered life.”
“I've had moments of brilliance but on my busier weeks when I haven't had my practice regime, it is hard-work.”
“Without these people who want selfies? People pay decent money to come and watch you. It doesn't hurt to take time out, and give back.”
“I can be a little bit guilty of being too nice.”
“I wouldn't wish my worst enemy bad luck.”
“My opponents are irrelevant. It's all about which Rob turns up. If I get it right, I can win anything.”
“Everything you get in life, you have to work hard for. And if you're not willing to get out of bed and work then you're not going to progress.”
“The only thing I wanted to buy was an Audi R8 - but my missus won't let me get it because she says it's too fast!”
“I believe in my own ability and I think the belief is there to win anything in the world.”
“Darts is more psychological than anything... staying mentally strong.”
“I would say darts is probably 15 per cent throwing. The rest of it is mental strength. Being able to hold your nerve.”
“My target has always been world No.1, I want that.”
“I only play to win. I don't like losing. I never look at the money or the bigger picture.”
“Most people that develop in darts or any sport probably take two or three years to find their feet.”
“The harder you work the more you will deserve and that is the attitude I have.”
“My old life was really hard. I had to get up at 4:30 A.M. in the morning to pay the bills. You know that if you don't turn up you don't get paid. It has really helped me knuckle down as a dart player and treat it like a job.”
“I always had a phobia of heights, but since I've been flying more regularly I have no problem with it now. I just go to sleep.”
“The demand, the amount of games I've played, and the time away from home has been the most ever. It's been hard but I do it to give my family a better life.”
