The darts forum definitive all time top 20 -2nd place poll

[sennafan24]

I'm disappointed in how many see Barney solely as a cringy meme. Barney is the only other player besides GOAT so far who managed to stay a top player for more than one decade.

He's not top 4 based on ability and achievements. If you factored in impact, it's a different matter.

+1

His ability is also massively overrated.

Top 10? Yes.

Top 5? Probably not.

[SuperSwede]

MVG by a decent amount

[Randall]

Tied at 9 each
Will leave this to run until tomorrow night
Unless there is a massive shift this will decide 2 and 3 and we will move onto number 4.

[HalloweenJack]

MVG but by a whisker.

I wonder what Randall has to say about the 2 people voting for Barney and the 0 people voting for Lowe.

[Randall]

Barney and lowe were always going to be lower in the pecking order than phil, eric and mvg
No shame in it

[Randall]

Be interesting to know the age brackets of the people voting for eric and mvg

[vizIIsto]

Who are going to be your next players in the poll? Priestley and Gary maybe?

If only there was an option to see which user voted for what...

[Randall]

Eric's voters are all 40+ I'm sure

[sennafan24]

Eric's voters are all 40+ I'm sure

Nope.

[Rogg]

Eric's voters are all 40+ I'm sure

Nope.

His legend massively transcends the 90s and beyond obviously but how often did you actually see him play? I never saw him.

Only the very end of his career. Thankfully the internet exists, so I have since educated myself about him and his career.

Still, he's underrated compared to Van Goblin and Headshaker.

[The Gronk]

Bristow is number two for sure.

[Gidra]

For now, its Bristow, no doubt, but Baldfish have a good chance to overtake him.

[Pigpen]

Bristow second for me, bettered only by the monster he helped create.
the first Lakeshite I remember watching was 1983, and apart from oddities like Deller winning most memories of those years concentrate around Bristow and Lowe

And jocky?

[HalloweenJack]

Jocky Wilson. Is he most famous for being a darts player or appearing on top of the pops. I was a mere kid when that incident happened.
As for Jockey, he had possibly the worst throwing action of any top level dart player but managed to win 2 world titles.

[skweezit]

van gerwen

How he hit anything under pressure is a miracle but no recollection of 80s darts is possible without mentioning him
