Adrian Gray; (nacido el 28 de febrero de 1981 en Hastings, Sussex, Inglaterra) es un jugador de dardos Inglés. Tiene como Apodo dardero “The Conqueror” (El Conquistador), no sabemos muy bien si por sus logros o por su feeling. Anteriormente su apodo era “3 Styler”. Su música para la salida a “los ruedos” es Bomfunk MCs del grupo Freestyler y vive en St. Leonards. Su verdadera profesión es tapicero de alfombras y ocupa el puesto 74 en la PDC. Es de los pocos “elegidos” que ha conseguido derrotar ante las cámaras de TV al gran Phil Taylor.
Carrera
Hizo su debut televisivo en el Open del Reino Unido 2003. Gray comenzó a jugar a los dardos a la edad de 18 años y en tres años había derrotado a jugadores notables como el tres veces campeón del mundo, John Part .
Hizo su debut en el Campeonato Mundial de Dardos PDC en 2006, derrotando a Ronnie Baxter en la primera ronda antes de perder ante Darren Webster. Una vez más estuvo presente en las Finales de los UK Open televisadas en Bolton. En el Trofeo de Dardos de Amberes en 2007 ganó a Stan James para la World Matchplay, pero perdió 10-12 ante Kevin Painter en la primera ronda .
Adrian había llegado previamente al ganarse un puesto en el 2005 al Las Vegas Desert Classic, donde venció al norteamericano John Kuczynski en la primera ronda antes de perder con Ray Carver .
Adrian produjo un gran malestar en el Gran Premio Mundial 2007, cuando se convirtió en el tercer jugador en la historia del torneo en derrotar a Phil Taylor. A pesar de perder las dos primeras etapas de su partido de primera ronda, Gray rara vez pierde su partida con un doble 16 y tomó cinco etapas sucesivas para estar dentro del partido. En la cuarta etapa de la segunda serie, Gray devolvó un 180 y terminó el partido con un doble siete para completar el resultado sorprendente.
Con la esperanza de repetir su éxito sobre Taylor en Irlanda, Gray sufrió una decepcionante salida de la primera ronda del Campeonato del Mundo de 2008, perdiendo 3-2 ante Mark Walsh. Esto fue seguido por un decepcionante Open Reino Unido 2008, perdiendo 9-4 ante Chris Thompson en la tercera ronda. Sin embargo, Gray se recuperó en el 2008 Las Vegas Desert Classic, alcanzando los cuartos de final por primera vez en la competición antes de ser derrotado por Taylor.
Gray sufrió otra mala salida en primera ronda en el Campeonato Mundial de Dardos PDC 2009 con una derrota por 3-0 ante el jugador de Newcastle de origen australiano, Paul Nicholson, perdiendo los nueve legs en el proceso.
En enero de 2012, Gray entró en la PDC ‘Q School’. En el tercer día de acción obtuvo una tarjeta PDC Pro Tour con una victoria por 6-5 sobre John Scott después de vencer también a Geoff Kime, Steven Pearson y Brian Kirk antes de llegar a la etapa final. Su mejor resultado del año 2012 se produjo en octubre, cuando llegó a las semifinales del Campeonato de Jugadores 15. Venció a jugadores de la talla de Brendan Dolan y Andy Hamilton, antes de perder 4-6 frente a Peter Wright . Su clasificación mundial de la PDC es el número 74.

Vida personal
Gray vive en St. Leonards, en East Sussex. Todavía no es un jugador profesional a tiempo completo ya que se gana la vida como un tapicero, o instalador de alfombras, donde tiene como socio en los negocios a Colin Barnes. En 2006, Gray y Barnes fueron nombrados “instaladores de alfombras del año” de East Sussex; un gris título que se hizo referencia al ser entrevistado en el escenario más tarde ese año.
