Not sure. We'll have to ask the medical professionals on TSOD.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Tough one but it's Dobey. Being overhyped as the biggest talent there is yet it doesn't seem like he'll become a main player anytime soon.
Adams and Barney did stuff.
Saying Hopp is good today is a lie. But he was quite the talent. It's been wasted but most people seem to get that.
Dimi won the Matchplay. Gtfo.

I hate Van den Bergh but like Vizllsto said, he won the Matchplay. Dobey for me

I never even thought about Adams before.

Most on that list seem like pet projects to varying extents and the Dobey thing means nothing to me. Only two players on the list I'd say are truly and widely revered, and one of them is the only one of the five who never even tried to reach the top. A quite scandalous absence of justice. Time to put that right.

Barney because it is a bigger disparity the higher up the list you are "rated" so Barney being rated 6th as opposed to in reality 10th or so is worse than Dobey being rated 46th when in reality being 126th for example.

I'm surprised so many agree on Dobey.
I still think Adams and Barney deserve what they got. Some take it too far with Barney and some say Adams' titles are shit. Whatevs.

Dont like DVDB but he did win the Matchplay

I like Chris he is a pleasant nice lad whenever I have spoke to him but he will probably admit himself he has been overrated.

But it has to be Adams simply for the fact he never had the balls to come to the pdc
