2018 Grand Prix was his best effort. He beat Whitlock and Lewis then only narrowly lost to Wright

The World Trophy final against The Boss was really good too. Wilson had a relatively easy run to the final

Always seemed to be one of those players who could be top 32 but never trouble the top boys before his injury. Now is just another who might average 100 and then follow it with an 80 average

Good scorer but he's never really done anything, would expect him to lose his card next year and he could smash up the seniors

My Beloved Biscuit is a gem of the last wave of decent BDO players. When he doesn't stop before throwing, he's got one of the most watchable throws in darts and his 180 hitting is criminally underrated. Okay he's a bit shit at times but he's a decent bloke and his laugh is funny as fuck.

Easily one of the best tour card players to have never won a PDC title. Would love to see him have a Gilding-esque revival, he's definitely good enough.

But I fear if he loses the card next year, he's completely fucked. Qualifying for Euro Tours will be critical.
