JONNY CLAYTON admits he would hand over his darts, his set-up and even his HOUSE KEYS if Karel Sedlacek asked.
‘The Ferret’ named the players he believes are the hardest characters on the tour, joking that Sedlacek looks like someone you would not want to mess with.

World No.5 Clayton also named Boris Krcmar and Mensur Suljovic as two players he would rather stay on the right side of.
But it was Czech ace Sedlacek who stood out most when Clayton was discussing the toughest men on the circuit.
He told Red Dragon Darts: “I wouldn’t like to mess about with old Boris Krcmar. I know he has lost his Tour Card at the moment.
“Mensur [Suljovic] I wouldn’t like to mess with. And Karel Sedlacek. He looks like when he says, ‘Jonny, can I have a flight?’ you can have the dart. You can have the setup.
“Have the house keys, Van, have it. I don’t think I would mess about with him.
“You don’t know – he has the look as if to say he is a tough nut.”
Clayton revealed who he thinks has the worst and best crack on the PDC tour, with one legend getting the nod as the quietest while a trio of stars bring the chaos backstage.
He added: “The worst crack on the tour I would say . Raymond is very quiet. It is no disrespect he is just very focused.

“Joe Cullen [has the best crack] by a mile and Nathan Aspinall. Together they always pick on me the old man.
“Aspinall, Cullen and Chris Dobey probably them three together are dangerous. We all sit on the same table on the ProTour.
“Them three are bonkers. We have Ross Smith, myself, Andy Boulton, Joe, Nathan, Chris and Ryan Joyce.
“We have a lot of banter as you can imagine. Chris is a proper wind-up merchant and then Joe Cullen jumps in and then they drag Nathan into it as well.
“It is an interesting table.”
Clayton also opened up about his past as a keen CRICKETER, revealing he once played at a strong level in South Wales.
He continued: “I did play from a very young age through schools. But my village team were playing in Division One of South .
“So, it was good and at that time you could have two overseas players in your team as well.
“I played at a good level in cricket. I was wicketkeeping and I think I got picked to play for the first team at around 16 years old.
“I played cricket for years and I really enjoyed it. But I tell you, two years back our second team was short and I was home.
“One of my friends said, ‘Fancy a game?’ I said, ‘Bloody right I do.’ I kept for the seconds and we had a brilliant day, great laugh.
“Do you know I couldn’t walk for three days. The hamstrings and the top of my legs, oh my God.
“Do you know what? I wish I never played that game of cricket.”
