The Thing is players back then just werent as good as players are now The top 10 players from back then wouldnt even be in the top 32 nowadays So Taylor had literally no real competition and could just go off Its like letting Hamilton race in F2
@@theaustriangamer true there are more quality players around now but that doesn’t take away from Taylor, he consistently wiped the floor with whoever was in front of him

Round 1 6-2 v toon greebe 111 average 4 180's Round 2 9-0 v Robert Thornton 110 average 6 180's Q/final 10-3 v Gary Anderson 118 average 10 180's Semi final v 11-3 jelle klaassen 109 average 10 180's Final 11-3 v Steve Beaton 109 average 7 180's Tournament average 111.54 And some don't think he would have lived with today's standard 😂
It's safe to say no one will ever beat 16 world titles and 16 matchplay titles .the goat
Taylor’s stage. A legendary performer and the undisputed king of Blackpool
That 2017 farewell win is one of his best at the Matchplay
132 checkout to win, in the absurdly, near impossible way he did, probably will never be surpassed in greatness.
The greatest ever 🎯🏆
Literally only Part, Wade and Lewis pushed him close in 16 Finals. Immense record, will never see the likes again in any sport
MVG also beat him in one
@@bobbysamuel3462 I meant 16 winning finals but yeah fair enough
Priestley kept him honest in 1995

4:33 Russ Bray with a miscount. Some things never change

Legends never die!
Best darts player ever PT🤟🤟🤟
The best that's ever been or ever will b an that's a fact
Brilliant Taylor
Wow, I finally saw a young Taylor my god
Phil Taylor is the greatest ever but at their best no one is better than MVG at their best but the consistency and longevity hands down Phil Taylor
Washed Phil Taylor still got the better of the best MVG most times they played.
Wade with a fair few final appearances not to mention his win in 2007
Wade was unlucky phil Taylor was about else he’d have far more titles
bring back confetti
Russ bray calling 155 loves a good mistake does old Russ hahaha
9:51, greatest checkout to win a tournament??
GOAT.
G O A T
Jenkins did well against him. 💀
That 132 check out against wade!
Cleaners to this day are still finding that confetti
Bring back the confetti
22 times he played won 16 madness
Mvg very nice in defeat
Poor James wade LMAO
Looked like Paul Bearer in the early days
The Matchplay trophy isn't known as the Phil Taylor Trophy for nothing!!!
2.43😂😂😂😂

14 grand for the win, that’s pretty crap

Mate look at the 2017 he beat all the best players with over 100 average
Check out when he won the 2009 European championship.
Round 1 6-2 v toon greebe 111 average 4 180's
Round 2 9-0 v Robert Thornton 110 average 6 180's
Q/final 10-3 v Gary Anderson 118 average 10 180's
Semi final v 11-3 jelle klaassen 109 average 10 180's
Final 11-3 v Steve Beaton 109 average 7 180's
Tournament average 111.54
And some don't think he would have lived with today's standard 😂
Taylor still has 7 of the top 10 averages at the matchplay
I very much doubt we will see the likes of a player of Taylor's skill again.
