I like Hendo but he hasn't won a single thing in the PDC.
Maybe a pie eating contest against Adrian Lewis but that would be it.

Everyone is rated highly by somebody, and as rubbish by somebody else. The word means practically nothing to me as there's such wild variation.

Whose 'rating/s' have been people contesting with their selections so far?

To explain one of my picks.

MVG: Rated by many fans and pundits as the 2nd best player of all-time and by some as the very best. For me, he isn't close to Taylor and isn't better than Bristow.

I looked at the current polls on here and of course my own bias.

Vastly more fans and pundits rate him accurately than overrate him, though? There are collections of idiots standing behind every opinion imaginable.

So it would be interesting if people explained whose rating they're using in each case. I'd like to know. I will try to name names for mine. Probably Oche.

Hmmmm, I think most would rank him higher than Bristow, which I disagree with.

I expect this is probably easier if you watch Sky without using the mute button half the time lol.


Raymond van Barneveld (Sky assorted, for years)
Glen Durrant (Mardle)
Mikuru Suzuki (Nicho)
Ian White (Dan Dawson)
Scott Mitchell (himself, and Mardle)


(...and some memorable vintage ones which deserve a mention for having been so brilliantly strange:)

Niels de Ruiter (Tony Green)
Chris Mason (Sid Waddell)
