CLAYTON TEASES SEX BOMB WALK-ON

JONNY CLAYTON could unleash SEX BOMB on Cardiff during the Premier League.

‘The Ferret’ sits third in the table after securing wins over Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting. 

World No.5 Clayton is relishing the prospect of playing in his home country on Night Five when the roadshow rolls into the Welsh capital. 

Clayton has already admitted he could ditch his usual entrance song of ‘Go Johnny Go’ for something else. 

He told talkSPORT: “I tried Delilah the first time I was there and it came off good. But it didn’t go as well the second time. 

“I might not go the Delilah route but maybe there might be something up my sleeve.” 

Clayton was quick to laugh when asked if he would use ‘Sex Bomb’, the classic hit by Tom Jones. 

He joked: “Definitely! I’ve not really thought of it. But being a part of Cardiff, being Welsh, it is the best one for us. 

“I remember I played Joe Cullen in his first year in the Premier League, and it was in Cardiff. He said, ‘This is my favourite of all.’ He loved it. 

“The banter and the atmosphere are going to be crazy. To have two Welshmen in the Premier League, it will be a good night there.” 

Clayton returns to action this Thursday when he faces fellow compatriot Gerwyn Price in Glasgow on Night Three of the Premier League. 

He added: “Gezzy is one of the best dart players that has ever lived. He has won nearly everything. 

“He has got everything — his power scoring and finishing. He is definitely coming back to where he was three years ago at the Worlds. 

“He is just a powerhouse. I think it has something to do with the rugby background where, like he said the other day, ‘On the rugby field I want to rip somebody’s head off.’ 

“There are no friends on the oche. I get that, and that is what you see out of Gezzy Price. 

“I don’t get how people boo him. He just goes out and plays the game as hard as he can. 

“I can’t see why people dislike him. He is very good. I am proud to be a part of the Welsh World Cup team with him.” 

Clayton, 51, discussed retirement and is determined to walk away on his own terms rather than be forced out. 

He continued: “I don’t know, as in time-wise. Hopefully as long as I want, and not to be knocked out of it by going down the rankings and falling out of the top 64. 

“I don’t want to go back to Q-School, and I’ve done it once.

“So hopefully it will be my decision to quit darts rather than fail in the game and lose my Tour Card. 

“Hopefully I have another five or six years in the game. I’m looking at maybe the 57 or 58 mark, then I will seriously start thinking about it.”
