Your Top 10 Players Ever?

[Rogg]

For the record Eric would've eaten MVG alive mentally. He was the master of it, and working a crowd.

Not averaging 50 he won't!

I just find the dismissal of MVG to be casual. We should go lightly, that's all I'm saying. MVG's peak, assuming we've seen it, was sensational, and Bristow loved him.

How the hell do you even compare Peak MVG and Peak Bristow?

The boards, etc are drastically different between the eras they competed in.

I think someone did a statistical analysis years ago, can't remember now. Anyway, you're correct it's the Ali Vs Tyson debate. You can't match era's I suppose so we've only opinion..and that of course is debatable.

We probably can't even answer this yet but I wonder which of them was closest to their peak for the longest. Or which of them was most Taylor-like for the longest.

We may have to wait a few years yet to answer that, or maybe not. You never know.

83 to 86 appears to be Bristow's peak. Between Lakeside 83 and 86 he won 8 out of 13 major BDO events. The latter stages of 85 Lakeside appears to be the time where he was "unplayable".

MVG's peak was 2015-2018 IIRC. Sadly Darts Database is offline so I can't list his yearly averages. I'm mostly drawing from memory.

Yeah 83/86 were the magic years. But throughout the 80's he was there or thereabouts in big events.

1984 World title

Finn Jensen 2-0 (91.50)
Rick Ney 4-0 (94.50)
Peter Locke 5-0 (95.70)
John Lowe 5-0 (93.60)
Dave Whitcombe 7-1 (97.50)

Average around 96 on those boards is amazing and only 1 set lost

[The Ginge Reaper]

Its clearly going to be higher than a 93 average, he only averaged 91.5 for 2 sets ffs.

What about it

[Dennis The Menace]

There must be some winners that are top 10.

[HalloweenJack]

Ok thanks Captain.
Tell this Thorn or anyone else to name their time and place , we can meet in St Helens on Sea and give 'em a slap.
Up this late because the alarm gone off at the gym , My mate Paul in charge tomorrow, I've gotta travel up to the Lakes for a wedding . Gonna lay it on the line with a worlds post at 6pm Sunday . My secretary Canilla ( Swedish) is typing it out for me.
Easy lolly

Aye, Thorn needs a good slap.

The legendary Stefan Lord won it twice.

[Randall]

That's not the version Uncle Randall is ever interested in. Yet he's quite interested in the shit versions of MVG.

That's an alternative way to build the all-time list: whose worst was least bad? Oh let's not. I've got to get out of here.

Eric's game being ruined by dartitis is somewhat different to mvg falling in a heap when someone puts it up to him

Well that's life. We all get ruined by something.

And there is the MVG assessment in a nutshell. A lemon who fell apart two nights ago.

Mentally mvg isn't on a par with Taylor or Bristow.

I'm not denying it. I'm just interested in assessing things fairly because people (inc. me!) are generally all over the place.

Are all three players at the absolute peak of their powers in your statement?

Absolutely
Disregard mentality briefly
Just consider the numbers
97 would have been very competitive at the Worlds this year
Then stop and think Bristow did that on boards half the size
Taylor could do 100 over distance double in on boards far more difficult
Whatever sky tell you the game isn't at its highest level ever
