Gary Anderson wants to win so badly he made child cry and says ‘doesn’t matter if I’m playing a 98-year-old granny’

DARTS star Gary Anderson has admitted he is willing to do anything to win - even if it means upsetting a child.

Anderson clinched a crucial 5-4 win over Michael van Gerwen on Sunday to go top of his Grand Slam group.

It was his second victory against the Dutchman in just over two weeks.

He stormed to a 10-4 win at the end of October - just one day after being labelled a "part-timer" by Van Gerwen.

Anderson has since insisted that despite the comments made by his rival, he remains fully focused on the sport.

So much so, he wouldn't let a kid or an OAP get in his way.

He said: "It doesn't matter if I'm playing Michael van Gerwen or a 98-year-old granny in an exhibition.

"I'm there to play darts and it's the same with kids. In Ireland I missed a nine-darter against a youngster and he ended up crying.

"His dad asked: 'why did you do that?' I said: 'He's not beating me!' I hate losing."

Anderson revealed he didn't practice before his meeting with Van Gerwen at the weekend.

The 53-year-old even suggested he is the most naturally-gifted darts player around.

He explained: "I'll tell you, I don't practice. I don't practice, but nobody believes me!

"Stick a camera and follow me about for a year and we'll see.

"Get some other boys to do it and we'll see what happens. I really don't.

"But I've played darts for a long time, 30-odd years. If you don't know where the treble 20 is by now… take up another hobby."
