Rob Cross is the defending champion going into this years' World Matchplay which begins on Saturday evening but he was nearly dumped out at the semi-final stage last year to Daryl Gurney.

Cross fought back from the brink at the Winter Gardens producing the best comeback in World Matchplay history.

He reeled off eight legs from 15-9 down to stun Gurney; from there, he of course claimed victory in the final; so it will always be what could have been for 'Superchin' had he made that final with Daryl Gurney.
