WILLIAMS SWITCHES WALK-ON AND REVEALS FA CUP PAST
26/02/2026 By Aaron Nijjar
SCOTT WILLIAMS will debut a new walk-on song after revealing his past playing FA CUP football for his hometown club.
‘Shaggy’ admitted he has “gone back and forth” with his entrance music and initially used ‘My Chemical Romance’ because of its personal significance.
World No.44 Williams says the track carried deep meaning after he lost close friends to suicide around the time he began his darts career.
But Williams is now set to switch to ‘Metalingus’, the iconic theme used by former WWE superstar Edge.
He told the Happy Hour Podcast: “Well, I’ve kind of gone back and forth. I started using My Chemical Romance.
“Just, firstly, it’s a wicked song. It’s a real song, but it’s a song for suicide. It’s an unofficial song for suicide.
“And I lost a couple of friends because of suicide, just as I started playing darts. So it was that.
“People don’t know it. So I changed it for the World Championships to ‘Golden’ for the K-pop Demon Hunters.
“Yeah, and that was quite good, but I’m changing it again.
“Something new. I’m going to go for ‘Metalingus’ by Alter Bridge, which is Edge’s walk-on song.”
The former World Championship semi-finalist admits his childhood dream was to become a professional footballer.
Williams revealed he even featured in FA Cup qualifying matches for his hometown club, Boston Town.
He added: “Footballer every day of the week, because from the age of six, seven or eight, when I first started playing, that was all I wanted to do.
“Yes, I started playing the usual, you know, Sundays, training on Friday and Saturday, playing kids’ football.
“Then I started playing adults’ football at 16. And I went from being a goalkeeper to playing up front somewhere.
“I played in FA Cup games. On the wing, yeah, for Boston Town. And not high-up games, like preliminary games, but I played for Boston Town.
“I was decent. I’m a better goalkeeper than an outfield player because I’m too tall and too gangly, really.”
