think gregory missed five darts for the match which heightened the tension and swung it for me.

I can't remember if he had three at at a double in the same visit but I do know he had chances in at least two legs to close it out.

2007 Taylor v RVB

Great match, but we were having a great party that night as well, so fond memories of that one.

1992 stands out, it was the only final where both players had darts to win it. 1989 was a cracker as well but my personal favourite was the 1996 final between Taylor and The Menace just for sheer quality of darts. Priestley averaged over 100 and hit 180's for fun that night but still lost 6-4

Yeah he averaged 101.49 which is still the highest by a runner up in a world final. He pretty much outscored Taylor throughout but missed a few crucial doubles and Feel took his out.

Undoubtedly people have played better and lost since, but at the time Taylor and Priestley were the best two players in the world and this final just raised the bar above what had gone before. In my opinion anyway.
