Is James Wade in the top 10 greatest darts players of all-time?

[sennafan24]

According to his Wiki page, Wade is the third most successful PDC player of all-time in terms of winning "premier events". He has won all the biggest PDC TV events with the exceptions of the Worlds, GSOD and Players' Championship.

Additionally he is one of the most successful players in floor/non-televised events in PDC history, boasting an impressive 28 non-televised title wins according to his profile on the PDC's website.

He was also ranked in the top 10 of the PDC's OOM in 15 out of the 16 years that spanned between 2007 and 2022, including a run of 6 years between 2007 and 2011 where he was ranked in the top 3.

Does his longevity and hefty haul of trophies qualify him as a top ten player of all-time? Or does his lack of World title exclude him?

This issue has already been resolved by a forum authority mate:

Top 15 without a world title, comfortably top 10 if he had won one but brutally bottled it vs the obese greasy lewis.

Same cunts posting now as they did 4 years ago, got to admire the consistentcy and longevity.

If you think Adams is top 10 you are absolutely deluded. Sure there are probably some people who think that, hopefully no one on here does so it's totally irrelevant. Surely even Oche isn't that thick.

Zero TDF users have voted for him as a top 10 player yet.

He is clearly not as highly rated on this forum as he is on Twitter.

A missing world championship is the only reason I can't call him top 10

Aye the missing World title appears to be the primary reason for many.

He really should have a GSOD title to his credit also.

I haven't worked out where I would place him yet, but I suspect it will be anywhere between 10th and 15th.
