Getting well would be an achievement in itself, there's still plenty taken by cancer

New book out apparently.
Darts fans, you require... this book! With help from the sport's biggest names, Matt Bozeat tells the inside story of darts' 50 greatest games. The book includes exclusive interviews with 16 world champions - including Michael van Gerwen and Phil 'The Power' Taylor - who relive the back-and-forth drama of their greatest ever moments on the oche. Here are classic matches such as those between Taylor and Ray van Barneveld and, further back, darting duels involving legends like Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson, John Lowe, Leighton Rees and many more. The secrets behind Taylor's darts domination are revealed, Andy 'The Viking' Fordham tries to remember the night he won the world championship, and other revelations include why being brainy won't make you a good darts player! Darts Greatest Games follows the sport's story from its 'thud, sweat and beer' beginnings on television in the 1970s up to the present, including the rise of van Gerwen.

Focusing on the matches rather than the players it might be OK.
Darting biographies hold little or no interest to me.

I thought McGregor challenged Taylor, and Taylor responded on twitter?

My command of twitter isn't exactly faultless, that could be so!
The ego on McGregor it wouldn't be a surprise.

Spamilton on the brink of jacking it in, tweets from a while back. Riesa is ET11 next month. A howling collapse from the top table to oblivion.

Are you sure the ball and chain isn't a reference to his ex missus?

It is, and it's exactly as you'd expect. Honest and to the point.

Lowe's is okay.

Bobby George's is good except the part where he rates Taylor as the third best player he's ever seen.

Taylor's came out about 15 years ago and was ghostwritten by Sid. You can pretty much instantly tell that Phil himself didn't write it.

His peak was probably the first gsod final against Taylor , put in a ton plus average over long course.
