I starting watch darts about 15 years ago aged 14. I was just flicking through channels up late on tv (here in Australia it’s on around midnight) and I fell in love with the sport and Russ Bray was calling then and it was such a great atmosphere and his voice was so unique. It won’t be the same. Enjoy your retirement much respect from Australia 🇦🇺 👏
I think it's a great pity that Russ wasn't seen off again live on TV in front of the whole world at the end of the final. Yes, they paid tribute to him beforehand, but I think that after such a long career, they should have let him say a few last words at the end of the award ceremony. The man practically made me watch darts. I am very sad that he is retiring, he will leave a very big gap. Dear Russ, I wish you all the best for your future, especially health. You are darts for me, you are a legend, I will miss you, darts will not be the same as it was with you. All the best from Germany 🥲👋
There's nothing to suggest they didn't offer him the opportunity and he turned it down. He seems a humble guy and didn't want the final to about him I suppose
This man is an example to our young people, not just the darts, he said one thing that stood out for me, when he said i did loads of different jobs in my life, but i was never out of work. Russ was the best in dart scorers, we will miss that 180 rough voice, it is his shout that makes the 180 more special. Russ good luck in retirement, but i can not see Russ being very far away in the future.
Great caller, great carrer and a great person as it seems. He was there over the last 30 years when the big ones clashed. He made the 180 popular and was there during developement of the sport. Wish you all the best, hopefully hear from you again some time and have a nice retirement.😊👍
Pleasure to meet him…Just out the blue. No pictures or anything…Just a chat after a smoke…Proper gentleman…no ego…Perfect pub conversation but we weren’t in a pub
I'll always have your voice on my darts score app on my tablet, mister Bray. Thank you for lending your voice to this amazing sport and event for all these years.
not just an amazing referee and an amazing ambassador for the sport but also simply an inspirational guy we will miss him and I wish him all the best for whatever is coming (since tomorrow is a mystery 😉)
Russ we will miss you so badly. I have only watched the darts since 2010 but it’s always better when you’re reading the scores! Best of luck for your future so glad I got a photo with you at the Ally Pally!
Genuine lovely guy, met him with bristow at an exibition. Hope he doesnt steal the limelight from the world champion, but desereves a good round of applause.
Following darts since 1995 (BDO side with v. Barneveld). Therafter completely overwhelmed by the PDC with the legend Phil Taylor. The PDC has some very great callers but still I'm gonna miss Russ. Take care!
Russ Bray just comes across as a very decent and likeable guy, a good egg as they say. I wish him all the best in his semi-retirement and I'm sure he'll smash his new Ambassador role! 👍👍
He ain’t retiring. He’s just stepping back and slowing down. However I like the VT that the PDC have done for him that will be shown on finals day. All the players and officials past and present showing love for him. I saw it 👌 And the walk on to say goodbye too. That will be superb x Take care russ !
This final is gonna be very emotional for The Voice for sure, at least he will still referee World Series so I hope I will have a pleasure to meet Russ Bray in Gliwice but I know it may be very unlikely, I wish that he will enjoy this last match
Looking forward to seeing his walk on and goodbye VT Tears o’clock I think !!!! Even though you’ll still be in the darts - Enjoy stepping back bro. Step forward Huw Ware and the new breed. Game on
All i can say is thankyou legend fallon gets an MBE for nothing yet this man has done somehting special for 30odd years and doesnt get one hows that fair 🤷🤷🤦

Always loved Russ' games that he refereed. Will miss hearing him. I wish him good health and prosperity for years to come.
Russ and his voice are a part of the history of the game. Thanks for your efforts, sir 🙏
Damn and I JUST got into darts. I fell in love with Russ and his voice! I can't imagine what it's going to be like without him. Bummer.
Russ Bray really should have been recognised in the New Years Honours List for services to Darts.
why ffs

Well said. There is ALWAYS a job out there. Always.
Thank you for everything you have done for the game we all love Russ.
Good luck Mr. Bray. Great interviewer as well. Didn’t keep interrupting.

Gonna miss Russ ‘The Voice’ Bray. Hopefully see him on the tour still from time to time!
I'll always have your voice on my darts score app on my tablet, mister Bray. Thank you for lending your voice to this amazing sport and event for all these years.
Love this guy. His say yes attitude, humbleness and philosophy on life itself is something to aspire to. Good luck to your future Russ
Guys like this are as important to sport as the players. If you don’t have them, we don’t have that sport. Top bloke.
What a top bloke....Great Outlook on life. Glad he's staying as an ambassador.
What a character.
Should be in a Guy Ritchie film
As a transgender serial killer. 😂
My thoughts exactly..a real cockney villain, guvner
Legend for ever
One hundred and eighty. Epic voice. Will never be forgotten
What a legend. enjoy rerirement and we'll see you around

Russ we will miss you so badly. I have only watched the darts since 2010 but it’s always better when you’re reading the scores! Best of luck for your future so glad I got a photo with you at the Ally Pally!
Fantastic caller what a legend
George Noble is my favorite caller but Russ is iconic and it won't be the same without him
Met Russ Bray in a bookies in Wolverhampton about 10 years ago, and also at Frankfurt airport when he was there for the WCOD. Proper sound geeza
Genuine lovely guy, met him with bristow at an exibition. Hope he doesnt steal the limelight from the world champion, but desereves a good round of applause.

The PDC has some very great callers but still I'm gonna miss Russ. Take care!
This guy is a top man. Great outlook on life.

Un grande!!

Claiming you're not an icon, yet your 180 call is a generational icon. Thanks for your service.

Will be sorely missed.
Fantastic interview
one undred and eighty!!!! thanks Russ
GAME SHOT AND THE MATCH RUSS BRAY!!
My favourite is the 134
Never knew i needed Russ Bray to drop some kung fu panda wisdom on us but im all here for it
Met him a few times and he is as he says a really nice bloke
It would be great if they named one of the trophies after him for his years of service to the sport he deserves it legend
The one the only Sir Russ Bray 👍
Russ Bray legend,super Typ
He will be missed big time, all the best Russ.
The last thing I was expecting when I put this video on was a kung fu panda reference but I love it😂
He should definitely run some sort of academy..what a guy..Big Up that gravely 180..Top fella..✌️
Looking forward to seeing his walk on and goodbye VT
Tears o’clock I think !!!!
Even though you’ll still be in the darts - Enjoy stepping back bro.
Step forward Huw Ware and the new breed.
Game on
One of the greats. Enjoy retirement Russ ❤
I’m gonna miss him on the stage ❤
I hope Matchroom will give him a golden goodbye. He is a decent bloke.
Russ Bray dropping some Kung Fu Panda quotes! haha
Can I possibly like this guy any more than I already do?!!
So gutted he is retiring, always enjoyed listening to his 180, but he is right younger blood is coming through and enjoy the retirement
What a legend. It won't be the same without Russ. But all the very best to his future.
"Oooooooonnnnnnnneeeeeee hundred an eighty!!!"
No one calls frows like Bray. Almost myfical to youngsters coming up. Nofing compares to his 180 bellows.
Will miss ya mate but hope you are still travelling with your new role and catch you in Wollongong this year.
nice chap
Gona miss the best cometator to ever live! Godbless
Legend
Will miss hearing his one hundred and eighty,,
Love hearing his 180 he will be missed on the stage but good luck on your new role
Well deserved retirement but i think he may make a special appearance for a final in the next years maybe
Who else didn’t actually know his name till this last week with him retiring? 😮
All i can say is thankyou legend fallon gets an MBE for nothing yet this man has done somehting special for 30odd years and doesnt get one hows that fair 🤷🤷🤦
Copper? No problem. Driving Instructor? Scariest thing on the planet 🤣
Top man Russ but it was master Oogway the tortoise not master Shifu who said the kung fu panda line
Sure will not miss that voice
Good riddance. Been waiting a long time for this
Without Russ Bray, darts is not as fun
Mr 180
I don’t like his 180 shouts
Very annouying
You referring to your spelling?
