Andrew Gilding has provided a surprise in the second round of the World Grand Prix. 'Goldfinger' defeated Gary Anderson 3-2.
"Unbelievable," Gilding opened. "Gary can play a lot better than that and I just don't know how I did it. I've been playing long enough now that I know if you keep plugging away you might get a chance."
Gilding already won the UK Open earlier this year and is now dreaming of a second major title. "Why not!? It's crazy I never thought I'd win a major."
Since that UK Open success, Gilding has become something of a cult hero with darts fans. "It's great, I like it. I notice in the crowd now that there's people cheering for me and I try to acknowledge them.

- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
