Nathan Aspinall will face Alan Soutar on Saturday evening in the Quarter-Finals of the
Grand Slam of Darts and he hopes that a certain good luck charm will be in attendance when he aims to reach another major semi-final.
His Grandad who famously was there when he won his UK Open was in the crowd on Thursday and after his previous win, Aspinall hoped that he would be back for the weekend.
“I feel confident, I feel that it’s going to take something special to stop me over that format,” said Aspinall.
“I’ve not been at my best in this tournament, but this is where I come into my own over the longer format.
“It was great to have my Grandad with me on Thursday. I have always loved playing in front of my Grandad and I’ve got a great record when he is here, so he’s got to come again on Saturday!”
