All of his wins over Wade came before 2004.

Me, you and anyone else could do a top 32 and they would all most likely be different and we could be here forever and a day debating them.

Cheers for letting me know HJ, was torn whether he meant David or Ricky but thought it had to be Ricky due to more long term tv success

For me, Adams is in the teens of the all time list

Has relative longevity and is underrated as a player but hid in the BDO for years when even playing the Grand Slam in his pomp could've done him wonders (see Scott Waites)

He should be higher than Whitlock, Warriner and Deller at least imo

He isn't underrated.

Why do you think most of his BDO majors were won between late 2009 and 2011? Because almost all of the other top players were in the PDC. When the BDO lost Anderson, Webster, and Whitlock in 2009, the darting war was more or less over. The BDO Worlds were mostly horrendous from 2010 onward.

Adams had chances to shine in cross-code events in the same way that Anderson and Waites did. He couldn't make the Matchplay final in 2 attempts, and didn't win the Grand Prix in 2001 despite Taylor going out early. Taylor and Lewis also spanked him in the WDT/IDL. He was also beaten by Andy Hamilton in the 2007 WDT.

Ranking him top 20 is fine, but he isn't top 10, let alone top 5.

I'm not bothered if people have him slightly higher than that.
