Aspinall looks to utilise Grandad being in attendance at Grand Slam as good luck charm: "I’ve got a great record when he is here"
PDC
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!”

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
