    You couldn’t even script it. The two best players in the world, who had been playing on different sides of the fence, debates raging for years about who was the best and they meet in a World Championship final and it goes all the way to the very last leg. It’s fairytale stuff that will never be beaten.

      Not much of debate, Taylor smashed him in a match 21-10 when they were both champs of different organizations. And there head to head ended 61-18 to Taylor. that is some record.

      @@mccann82 It was hyped to be a rivalry to increse the popularity of darts, it defo worked, Barney was a great player and was Taylors closest peer in ability. But like you said after the Uk Open and Worlds Phil proved who the real king of darts was. 61-18 isnt even close is it. lol

    Barney's second turn in the last leg, at 401, after Taylors opening 180, is single best three darts throw at the ockey in the history of the game. Mind bending, under that pressure, in that final, after 12 sets, against the best player of all time. We will probably never see the likes of that again.

Nearly 30, 180s. Both men with over 50% check out success (MVG 51%, RVB 68%). Quite simply a stunning game of darts.
