Top Ten Darts Players...ever...

Post by Darth.Maple on Mon Sep 28, 2009 8:18 pm

Hi guys, perhaps a bit of a controversial topic here, who, in your opinion are the Top 10 best darts players ever? Here's my list...

1. Phil Taylor, a no-brainer really, countless titles and 14-time world champ, a true great...
2. Raymond van Barneveld, was hesitant to put him here, was thinking of putting Bristow in at number two, did however decide on Barney. Five-time world champion and many other titles, I believe that he deserves this spot.
3. Eric Bristow, five-time world champ but would have been at least 8 if not unfortunately stunted by dartitis. A true champion of his era.
4. Dennis Priestley, another multiple world champ, again because he has fought through the illness and remained in the top ranks of the game, a true champion, an amazing player.
5. John Lowe, as I've tried to put in many different players from different eras in this list, therefore I hesitantly put John Lowe at number 5. An amazing player and a true champion of his golden era. What a player!
6. John Part, only just missing out on the number 5 spot, I place my favourite player, John Part at number 6. In my opinion, any player that can win the PDC World Championship these days deserves a place in the top 10 at least, if not the top 5.
7. Bob Anderson, winning the world masters 3 times on the trot is not easy, but this guy did, also a world champion in his own right, also, because he stayed at the peak of his game until 2008, Bob Anderson is placed at a deserved 7.
8. Peter Manley, winning the Las Vegas Desert Classic and getting to so many finals over his many years in the limelight, Peter Manley is somewhat controversially put at Number 8
9. Jocky Wilson, an amazing player, and a crowd favourite (especially in Scotland.) A brilliant player and another world champion that will be remembered forever!
10. James Wade, because of the mere potential of the lad I believe that he will be the number 1 ranked player in the world once The Power hangs up his arrows...

Thus concludes the list Smile

Please feel free to comment and put your own lists...

Thanks

1. As to be Phil taylor simply because he is the best ever dart player and i can not see anyone topping what he as achieved.
2. Eric Bristow the best of his time very cocky player but you can afford to be when your that good.
3. Dennis priestley simply because he is a genuine bloke and he would have won a few more world titles if it wasnt for Mr Power.
4. Barney he is a very consistent player but iu feel he loses the battle when pressure hits him.
5. James Wade is our future champ he is a top dart player.
6. John Lowe as he is a blast from our past who we all loved to watch at that time we or i used to shout for John when he played Eric.
7. Terry Jenkins he is a very consistent player reaching loads of finals but never going that extra mile to take the title.
8. Bobby George never won the world title but won the next hardest comp the embassy a few times and a great show man.
9. John Part is one of the nicest darters iv had the pleasure to meet he is a gentleman and a very good dart player.
10. Last but not least im going for showmanship here and it is Peter One Dart Manley he is a scruffy looking player who everyone hates and boos when he does his walk on but a real entertainer.
These are my personal views only. Very Happy
