And Taylor's 61 tournament wins from March 2008 to September 2010. Such was Taylor's dominance that it got to the point where him losing 4-5 to Adrian Lewis in the 2010 World Grand Prix semi final was considered a big upset. John Part needed Taylor to win that semi final to get a place in the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts, and Part (who usually senses dangers before they happen) took a Taylor win as a near certainty.

The occasion, quality, pace and the ups and downs made it one of the most watchable long format games of darts we can ever see.

You weren't there in the Gerevich Aladar Arena when Mason Teese hit the big fish...can't blame you but educate yourself.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
