My Take
To me Phil Taylor is simply the deity of darts. From Stoke-on-Trent, fittingly nicknamed 'the Power', he dominated his sport across three decades with numbers that border on the unreal: 214 professional titles, 87 majors and sixteen world championships. The BBC ranking him among Britain's greatest sportsmen feels like an understatement. Darts can look modest from the outside, but the mental warfare and sustained precision it demands are brutal, and he stayed at the summit for an astonishing stretch. I have endless admiration for craftsmen who pour their whole lives into mastering one discipline, and Taylor is the purest example I know.
