According to The Sun: Johnny Clayton lost interest in darts after the death of his 'hero', his father, two years ago. Life changed for the Ferret, who is a proud family man, but gradually he is starting to feel the love for the sport again. Seeded number 5 at the World Darts Championship, he intends to go further than the quarter-finals.
“When my father passed away, it was tough. I didn't want to play darts, but now I'm trying to find inspiration in it,” Clayton shares.
Johnny Clayton's story shows how personal tragedies can affect an athlete's career, but it also highlights that a love for one's craft can help overcome difficulties. With renewed strength and inspiration, Clayton is preparing for competitions, hoping to impress fans with his performance at the championship.
