Ronnie O’Sullivan claimed darts is not the same without Phil Taylor. The darts maestro won a record 14 PDC world titles in an iconic career that spanned over 20 years.
He captured the hearts and minds of thousands of fans across the world with his truly dominant run in the sport. Nobody has mastered darts quite like ‘The Power’ and O’Sullivan, a legend of his own sport with seven snooker world titles to his name, has had a similar impact and is no doubt its biggest draw.
But in hailing Taylor, 62, who came back at the Worlds Darts Seniors this year, O’Sullivan – who still packs out venues like no one else - was full of praise. O’Sullivan said: “Tell Phil to get his darts back out, we miss him! I don’t watch it now that Phil is not playing, I used to watch it all the time when he was there. “Some people like watching anyone throw darts – and I suppose some people like to watch certain players. Phil Taylor was one of those who even if you weren’t a darts fan, you would want to watch him.
