"Where are the Luke's?": Scott Williams hasn't looked at Minehead route aside from Littler or Humphries clashes

After not kicking on since his World Darts Championship brilliance, Scott Williams says he doesn't want to be the Michael Buble of Darts in only being brought out at Christmas after reaching the final day of the Players Championship Finals.

Williams reached the semi-finals at Ally Pally this year and is into the Quarter-Finals in Minehead usurping Jeffrey de Graaf 10-8 with a 101 average and a 170 en route.

"That was mentally really draining," said Williams to Online Darts. "Jeffrey (de Graaf) was so good in a lot of that. Checkouts were great, he let me in a couple of times which I took advantage of. The fish (170) is always nice. I didn't really say anything to myself at the break either, it's just like come back, just have a few throws on stage and I was back ready to go."

"I love playing in front of a crowd on the stage. Got some friends here from my hometown and it's five and a half hours to my home from here so the fact they're here, it's great to have people in the crowd that are rooting for you. I just love being on the stage, happy to be playing good enough to win games."

He said that he also has paid no mind to who he plays next albeit knowing that he could play Luke Littler in the semi-finals. The two Luke's remain the big names involved in a pretty open draw tomorrow.

"I have no idea who I play next game. I don't know how much prize money I've won which is really weird because I'm really one of these anal guys that looks into anything. I know I can play Littler in the semi-finals, that's as far as I've seen. Where are the Luke's, that's all you care about in this game at the minute."

While he also like alluded to referred to tweets comparing him to a singer brought out mainly around Christmas with others also comparing him to a box of the chocolates Celebrations in being a Christmas tradition.

"Someone on social media called me the Michael Buble of darts which I really appreciated. I get it. I don't want to be the Michael Buble of Darts, I want to be the Meatloaf. I want to be there all year round. I want to be the guy that people look at and really appreciate what he's done in his career."
