If you think I’m going to spend the time to pick a top 32 list, you will be waiting some time.

Shame on you if you thought I could be bothered.

Maybe, but not tonight.
Here is my top 3 in order. Hardly any surprises.

Taylor
MVG
Bristow

Alright. Nobody is ever interested in pre-split tournaments outside the worlds and masters which probably doesn't say much for our perspective on things.

This for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MFI_World_Matchplay

16 players. Best of 3/5/7/9 sets.

[Smithy1412]

Big Cliff Lazarenko won TV tournaments didn't he? He certainly won the British Open on the BBC in 1980 if my memory serves me, might have won other TV titles too

He deserves a mention Big Cliff

Cliffo may well be added. There's a lot of pre-split BDO tournaments which need to be looked into, such as the MFI Matchplay which is mentioned just up the page.

[Smithy1412]

An interesting find. Gary Robson, Dennis Smith and Jamie Harvey all make an appearance in this list of the 54 greatest darts players of all time.

[Randall]

Dear god

[Rogg]

Endearingly strange. Pity they couldn't find a place for MVG but who would you leave out? It isn't easy.

[ChrisW]

Raymond #2 clearly delusional.

[The Thorn]

[Smithy1412]

Alan Norris and Colin Monk are higher than Michael Van Gerwen in the all time list

[HalloweenJack]

Raymond #2 clearly delusional.

That will go down well with some on here
