CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO FLY

Former champ out to give Ronseal’ Littler a decking

- BY MIKE WALTERS

ROB CROSS claims Luke Littler is like a tin of Ronseal - a polished act, he does exactly what it says on the tin... but you can deck him.

The 2018 world champion booked a fourth-round showdown against ‘Luke the Nuke’ tonight with a stunning 4-0 whitewash of Aussie No.1 Damon Heta.

And the former electrician known as ‘Voltage’ insists His Nukeship (inset) isn't unbeatable, saying: “There's no pressure on me. If I lose to Luke Littler, who cares?

“But if I go up there with a positive mindset, I hope I can get a tune out of myself and who knows what can happen?”

Cross, who has slipped down the PDC order of merit to No.20, can still be a dangerous customer on his day ~ as Heta found out to his cost.
