I met phil on a poker cruise in 2006 i think it was, and have a great photo with him. My m8 and i were having an early morning coffee on deck in a quiet area when phil strolled past, we just said 'morning phil' when he got to where we were, and he just sat down with us without prompting, and we had a great chat for 10 mins or so till he had to get back to his carver, he's a really nice & genuine guy

no joke, i mean this, my dads called robert williams, and he met phil taylor in moriara in spain, They ran into each other in a bar, my parents lived there but phil was visiting someone i think, my dad and phil got into a convo for ages and chatted about how they had met once before in my dads pub in england as phil had done some kinda promo thing and he came to our pub, phil said what u doing tonight? and my dad said he was going up to the local in moriara, phil said "ill join ya".... later on that night my dad was having a beer at the bar and phil walked in and had a beer with him. (im sick of my dad telling this story! hahahahah) but fair play to phil, he is a man of his word.

Awesome interview with The Great Man I agree 2013 world final was the best for me in terms of quality style mentality and meaning.

[@joppadoni]

Met Phil in a pub before an exhibition years ago, i wanted to leave him alone when Me Mate said who he was and i said i don't know him and me mate says he's number one dart player in the world.. And reminded me i played darts a ton loads.. So met him before i knew who he was and he was lovely.. Then i found out he really was the number one and i was gob smacked i missed the opportunity to talk to him as i was silent throughout drinking a pint with him whilst me mate Gary talked with him for half an hour.. I was as quiet as his security bloke.. I didn't want to bother him. So nice, lovely smile.. And very warm to be in his company.

[@SAMx1892]

Class interview

[@dungydroppy1485]

For the amount of media training this man should’ve been exposed to as the pinnacle of the sport, it was no wonder we heard very little from him and his commentary career is down the porthole. Arguably the GOAT and nobody can take that away, but… he’s got to learn from his old master Eric and still try to learn to perform on that. Legacy is undoubted, legend status is still to be earned.
