Russ Bray

Russ Bray

Russ Bray (born 22 June 1957 in Shenley) is a darts referee who works for the Professional Darts Corporation. He is considered by some to be the best darts referee in the world. He is also known as The Voice, due to his unique style of calling and his raspy voice. According to Bray himself, his calling career began one night when the regular caller failed to show for a county match. Russ was then contracted to call for the PDC in 1996 and was given his debut at the World Matchplay in Blackpool. He was the caller when Phil Taylor hit the PDC's first-ever televised 9-darter in 2002 at the same event. He is also a member of Team Unicorn.

Russ was a county player for Hertfordshire and subsequently played on the pro circuit. He teamed up with Eric Bristow to win the Norway and Finland pairs.

Bray has made use of his raspy voice in more commercial work in recent years. He was the referee in the PDC's first ever video game, PDC World Championship Darts and most recently became the voice of Feasters, a new microwave food chain. He also does voiceovers for Nuts TV.

Russ also hit the bullseye on a standard dartboard from 10 feet, thus achieving a Guinness world record in the process.
