A WORLD darting sensation claims he'll keep his job as an Iceland delivery driver even if he wins the World Championship and HALF-A-MILLION-POUNDS. Underdog Robert Owen defeated Niels Zonneveld to progress to the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship for the first time ever on Monday.

He backed up that win by knocking out 27th seed Gabriel Clemens to reach the third round. Thrilling sporting moments aren't all that the 40-year-old delivers though, as he's been working as a delivery driver for Iceland Food Warehouse since June 2023. The dad-of-three, whose darting nickname is Stack Attack, has revealed he juggles his part-time contract with three-hours-per-day arrows practice but embraces his busy schedule.
He claims that even if he won the prestigious tournament and its half-a-million-pound prize he'd keep his delivery job as he gets 'more of a thrill of speedy deliveries than 100-plus checkouts'. Robert says he feels he's living a double life, with many colleagues not realising he was a professional darts player until he told them about his upcoming time off a couple of weeks ago.
Richard Walker, Executive Chairman of Iceland, has even pledged to fit a 'full practice arena' in the staff room when he returns to work after the tournament. Owen, from Bridgend, Wales, said: "I work as an Iceland delivery driver on a part-time contract, but I manage to cram it all in.
