Cameron Menzies struggled with his nerves and burst into tears after losing at the World Championship - but the down-to-earth Scottish plumber has now won the nation's hearts For all the attention that has fallen on Cameron Menzies since he was overcome by emotion during a shock first-round defeat at the World Darts Championships this week, it was hardly out of character.
'He went in for a triple heart bypass and a new valve and when it all closed up, it didn’t go well,', said Menzies, who posted a since-deleted picture of himself alongside his bedbound father at the hospital.
Last month, the Scottish world No 39 fell to the floor in tearful celebration after edging out 13th-ranked James Wade to make the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts.
No one could accuse Menzies of not wearing his heart on his sleeve.
A week later, he was left screaming with frustration after blowing a promising lead against the higher-ranked Ryan Joyce at the Players Championship Finals.
