I just realized that every finalist from the last 10 years is actually a world champion now. The last finalist not to become world champion was Andy Hamilton in 2012.
The PDC world championship is by far my favorite darts tournament, it been around for 30 years now and so many players from around the world in different countries are playing for the biggest darts prize ever.
Imagine being Michael Smith in 2019, battling and battling against MVG only to fall short... Now imagine being Michael Smith in 2023, after you had just exacted revenge on Mighty Mike...
2008 to 2012 were strange years. Adrian Lewis winning back to back worlds averaging mid 90s. He had the world at his feet back then. He also had alcohol in his hands. A sad waste of a career destroyed by alcohol.
0:48 the start of the HISTORY MAKING RECORD BREAKING 16 TIME CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLD ITS PHIL THE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TAYLORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
You can't compare Taylor's era to Van Gerwen's. MVG is 34 years old and won 3 world titles. To reach 16, he has to win 13 more. If he wins each and every World Cup from now on, he will be 47 by the time he does. I feel like MVG's prime is over. He may return at one point, but never will I give much chance for him to win a WC title past his 40s. Look at Taylor's era. He wasn't always that good, but he didn't need to be because the field of contestants simply couldn't keep up at all. He was, miles and away, the best out there. MVG's era is decorated by much more players that are much more capable. Lewis, Anderson, Cross, Humphries, Wright, Price, Smith just to name some. Taylor didn't have this much competition until like 2010 or so. The only player he actually had to worry about was RvB. I know he played many finals against Part, but let's be real, he never came close. Both Taylor and Van Gerwen were the best of the best in their era, but Taylor's era lasted much longer
And some bloke claim that mvg is todays phil taylor lol....hes just a big headed fool who think hes on the level of phil taylor when it comes to winning
Well, that was just boring. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor................ Only one thing. The older he got, the more arrogant and aggressive he was. I'm glad he finished.
Скажите пожалуйста, не могу понять, вот филл тейлор легенда, без вопросов, что такого в mvg? Он выигрывал чемпионство 3 раза, питер райт2, Гарри андерсон 2,льюс 2,обычный игрок, а из него делают сверх игрока не заслуженно
Есть категория турниров Major, которая в дартсе является самой престижной, и в этой категории Тейлор выиграл 79 титулов, МвГ 47, а идущий на третьем месте Уэйд 11, Андерсон и Райт по 8. Поэтому и считается, что МвГ ближе всех подобрался к Тейлору по величию, слишком большой разрыв между ними и всеми остальными.
30 PDC World titles and Taylor has taken almost half of them...G.O.A.T.
Phil taylor is 16 time world champ right ? If my math is correct thats more than half
@@Usero1ooo1 14 PDC, 2 BDO
21 World Finals also In a 30 Year Career
@@Usero1ooo1 And Mvg might end up winning the next half of them…
@@coryelstob8394 Mvg would need to work harder than ever to win 16 world titles, just like Taylor
poor dennis priestley, being in so many world finals only to win it once... always against the strongest of them all.. phil taylor
Although he is a 2 time champion including the 1991 world title at the lakeside before the split
@@nickthefox72Lakeside after the split in 1993 was not even close to being a world championship, only pub amateurs were playing that event.
Denis Vicarly.
@@anthonymatute6057complete nonsense. Only after Barney switched did the PDC fully take over.

will almost certainly be the case w this year too at some point
20:54 - Phil Taylor rushes to take Cross's winning double dart befofe it fell out off board, class.
Bullshit

Trash when it comes to audience though.
@@johnmc3862WHATEVER MAN!!! I enjoy Ally Pally crowds!!!
@johnmc3862 trash crowd is what makes the sport entertaining
@@petershortland478 the crowds are not trash!!! (they can be sometimes)
Phil Taylor being shocked by confetti since 1995....😂😂😂
Cross so respektvoll zum Großmeister 😊
Thank you for this Video, thank you Phil Taylor, thank you Russ Bray, thank you, youtube for letting us view this all.
Taylor and Priestley - Padawan and Master. It was a great realitionship between them at Darts
I love how Taylor won this so many times and still didn't get used to the confetti cannons going off.
I would love James Wade to find some amazing form and snatch one of these
Taylor 21 World Finals. 16 wins. A world final at nearly 58 amazing
19 finals and 14 wins
Where did you take these numbers ?
@@giacomopiazzo5163 Altogether including BDO
There will never be another like Phil Taylor
I love how this glittercannon goes off back in the day and it scares the shit out of Phil Taylor😂😂
John parts has to be my favourite, he came from Canada to the UK with that crowd and said “out my way 10 time, it’s my time”, EPIC.
Phil Taylor 16x won absolute legend. Not to forget how often he was in the final🎊🎊
Because he had no serious rivals
@@DaimonF1 That's right. But the last opponents were good. Van Gerwen Cross
@@DaimonF1simply because he was far better than anyone else.
@@DaimonF1Because he was simply better
@@DaimonF1Priestley was a serious rival. He was just better than him.
You watch a video like this and you realize how dominant Taylor was in the sport 🔥
I love how by Taylors 7th title, he was so used to it that he prepared for the confetti explosion by plugging his ears
Should be called the Phil Taylor trophy.
The Matchplay trophy is called that, because it was his favorite tournament
Phil Taylor the 🐐...Rob Cross's win phenomenal 💞
I like how Rod Harrington wore this business outfit with a tie in the final 95 😅
Imagine being Michael Smith in 2019, battling and battling against MVG only to fall short...
Now imagine being Michael Smith in 2023, after you had just exacted revenge on Mighty Mike...
Now imagine being Michael Smith in 2023 x 2 losing to Richard Veenstra lol.
Imagine if Anderson won it back to back to back between 2015-2017 but the 2nd G.O.A.T MVG denied him
Skol lager and Proton cars, what a time to be alive 👌
Phil Taylor is insane... he s like Nadal at RG
2008 to 2012 were strange years.
Adrian Lewis winning back to back worlds averaging mid 90s.
He had the world at his feet back then.
He also had alcohol in his hands.
A sad waste of a career destroyed by alcohol.
Difference in the wire thickness over the years
Actually this is Phil Taylors way to learn to anticipate the confetti canon.
I remember years ago that people say mvg gonna be bigger than Taylor he is already not the number 1 anymore
6 time in the final for mvg i didnt know that he was that many times. and 4 for gary anderson
5 for Gary with his wins in 2015 and 16 and his losses in 11,17 and 21.
Taylor made Priestley bleed for that first final :D
Peter Manley lost 0-7 to Taylor THREE TIMES
The darts aint the same without phil taylor some sports u can argue whos the greatest but not darts phil is the GOAT
2013 Taylors last Titel und Bruce Spendleys last Match as a Caller😢
its like watching groundhog day
Rob Cross❤️👌
"he (Taylor losing against Cross) was caught in a crossfire." I just looove english commentators. 😁😁😂😂
Please gary do it one more time.
Will Littler or Humphries be next?
Who’s next? I can’t wait to find out 🎯
Raymond van Barneveld won it in 1998 1999 2003 2005 2007
Luke Humphries maybe will win the 2024 title.
Insane!
Taylor was just different class
LOL 2002 handshake refusal
2024 - Cool Hand
That or Luke Littler, apparently 😂
nice one
Shame Anderson’s prize ceremony from his first win was left out.
The undisputed 🐐 Phil Taylor
Give us Prime Lewis Back please
So Denis, who do you want in the final? Anyone but Phil Taylor Bob...... oh sh8t!
Don’t worry about the other world championship titles from 1978-1993 👌 Cus everyone knows nothing exists outside pdc
0:48 the start of the HISTORY MAKING RECORD BREAKING 16 TIME CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLD ITS PHIL THE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TAYLORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I think the true champion here is the confetti cannon
Is it just me or was the doubles alot smaller back then?
Boards are 14 pcent bigger today hence why so many hitting 100 plus averages
priestley must hate him 😂😂😂😂
Greatest darts player ever was Phil Taylor. He always came across as a bit of a prick though.
10 ARAW NA LANG
2003 and 2007 are the Best
We crown him, THE WILLIAM HILL WORLD DARTS CHAMPION, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SNAKEBITE!, PETER!, WRIGHTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
mobie anout taylor 😅
I feel bad for price since he celebrated to nobody
CAN MVG win 16?
Yes, but he will need to work harder than ever to win 16 world titles!
Not a chance.

Competition was absolutely booty meat in taylors early years. Not impressed what so ever
Look at Taylor’s rivals then come back with that stupid statement
Well, that was just boring.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor................
Only one thing. The older he got, the more arrogant and aggressive he was.
I'm glad he finished.
Stop thinking darts is boring!!!
And im glad, that he became World Champion 14/16 times before being „finished“. Unnecessary Hate mate
Darts isn't a sport and that's a fact
Then why watch this ya knob
Taylor wins when he had no serious rivals
Simply because he was far better than anyone else.
I love the fact you keep making this comment and then the other guy replys with the same reply lol.
The guy that beat him 6-1 was a serious rival. 🤡
Keep crying kid.
