Ultimate premier league for players who never played in it.

Post by HalloweenJack » Tue Sep 26, 2023 7:49 pm

Pick your top 8 premier league players from any point in darts history from any darting code.
Criteria - Players that were entertaining/ controversial
You cannot pick a player that has played in the PL before.

My 8 players

Eric Bristow - The obvious choice
Jockey Wilson - Another obvious choice
Bobby George - crowd pleaser
Ted Hankey - The pantomime villain
Cliff Lazarenko - A character
Bob Anderson - I never liked him, but kudos to him for walking on stage with a horse.
Corey Cadby - Im just imagining his match against Hankey for shenanigans.
Paul Nicholson - Another one that could stir the crowd up.

This line up would be far more entertaining that whatever is picked next year.

I will take a different approach and nominate players who haven't made the PL since I've been watching. This would be an exciting lineup

2016 - Vincent van der Voort
2017 - Benito van de Pas
2018 - Alan Norris
2019 - Darren Webster
2020 - Ian White
2021 - Krysztof Ratajski
2022 - Luke Humphries
2023 - Josh Rock

Cosidering the limitations you put on yourself there that's pretty good.

Based on my criteria, if you picked 8 players, you and I both know that Ted would be under consideration.

Fair comment. I’ll take out Lazarenko and put in Mitchell, who was/is a popular crowd pleasing player, plus Senna can’t stand him so he is in for me.
