Cross on decision to use 'Hot Hot Hot' as walk-on song: "It wasn't my personal choice"

Rob Cross has long courted some criticism for using 'Hot Hot Hot' by Arrow instead of 'Danger High Voltage' which fits more with his nickname but in his Story of Walk On with Sky Sports, he says that it wasn't his decision.

"When I started out we went through a fair few songs. I developed a lot faster so it was hard to get a walk-on song. We had this one chosen, we had input from the PDC. It wasn't my personal choice. Target and everyone around me had an input so I ended up with that song. I don't mind it, it's alright but it's what to have at the right time, I suppose," he said to Sky Sports.

Best atmosphere

In terms of the best atmosphere, he has played in though it wasn't in the UK but in fact in the Netherlands during his first Premier League stint.

"The Rotterdam Ahoy when we played in the Premier League, that was phenomenal. I'll never forget when I went up and played in Ireland, it was a totally different atmosphere standing there. My bones were shaking in my first Premier League, there was 10,000 people and they were all screaming, it was a fantastic experience," he said.
