Is Phil Taylor...

[imamartian]

... the best sports star the world has ever seen?

Darts doesn't require you to be particularly fit or strong, but then nor does shooting, or table tennis?... But to dominate a sport the way The Power has (and still IS..) is just incredible...

And i suspect darts is more a mind game than anything else....

Incredible bloke !!

In answer to your question, definatly not, probably not even in the top ten.
I think great would also mean you are recognisable with just one name, ie;

1 Ali, 2 Henry, 3 Barry, 4 Valentino, 5 Linford, 6 Daley, 7 Torville 8 Dean 9 Capes, 10 Best

Torville and Dean? won a gold medal..... "The Power" has 70 titles to his names, and has dominated for 20 years? I think Lineker, Messi, Gascoine and Peter Purvis would think Jane Torvill on the 'B' list !!!

its darts.....................anyone can play darts!!!!!!.....even me......tho eddiem is a bit sh*t at it.......

Yep and he got an MBE.... but has not dominated quite the same as Taylor...

And he died at 52 which i just wrong !!!!

you miss the point a tad there...

 

[imamartian]

Thank you...

And a serious point... a sportsperson that dominates a sport in the way Taylor has and is doing needs to be recognised !!

I've heard of Lineker and Gascoine, they do the Walkers crisp adverts, but Messi never heard of him and Peter Purvis, was he on Blue Peter?

 

[imamartian]

I shouldn't respond... but what about archery then? or shooting...

 

[sooey]

What about shove hapenny and snooker, or hopscotch?
