Russ Bray's iconic voice is etched in the memory of many darts fans. Bray is one of the referees at the PDC. German broadcaster DAZN had an interview with 'The Voice of Darts'.
Bray explained that he enjoys visiting Germany to serve as a referee at tournaments there. ''The German public are passionate people. You see that, you feel that and you noticed that at Alexandra Palace at the World Darts Championship. When Florian Hempel, Max Hopp or Gabriel Clemens play, they have the support of the German fans. And that's what it's all about."
Also, Bray hopes to get German colleagues soon. "We want referees from all over the world. And especially in Germany. Darts is so big in Germany. We want referees from countries like that. That would certainly be nice for all Germans to have someone from their country like that."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024

- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
