Title: Phil 'The Power' Taylor

In the words of the great sage Sid Waddell:

Nothing I can say,
A total eclipse of the dart.


The man is un-equalled in any sport. Surely he has to be recognised via Sports Personality or Sports Writers award or even............


Arise Sir Power

I very much doubt that he'll be honoured with a Knighthood, not after he was stripped of his MBE (I think) for his dalience with a young lady a few years ago.

However, you are correct Cussy. No one will ever match his achievements in any sport. 15 World Championships and counting. Although to quote him in the latest Sky Sports magazine :

\"Do you think you can get to 20 World Championships ?\"
\"No, I don't think so. I don't know whether I want to be competing that long\"

Bit of hope there for the rest of the Darts world then.....
