Phil 'The Power' Taylor is the uncontested king of darts, his
sixteen world championship titles between 1990 and 2013 far
outclassing anything else the game has seen. He started out as a
protege of Eric Bristow, the Crafty Cockney, having wandered into
his Burslem pub with a set of darts his wife had given him for his
birthday. At that time Taylor was earning GBP52 a week working in a
ceramics factory and hardly played. But jaws dropped and pint mugs
tipped over as this newcomer suddenly unleashed a gift for flight
that had soon eclipsed even the Crafty Cockney himself, and amassed
Phil a haul of over 200 professional tournament victories. Staying
Power is a year in the life of a legend, twice nominated for BBC
Sports Personality of the Year, a man who made darts look a doddle
to British pub-goers everywhere and set his seal on the game as the
bloke to beat. A year of triumph and disaster, in which Taylor
crashed out of the world championship in the second round to young
outsider Michael Smith and fell asleep at home on Christmas day,
exhausted from the strain of constant winning. A year when he
played arguably the greatest ever game of darts, in the Grand Slam
semi-final against recent world champion Adrian Lewis the two
slugging it out to the wire. A year in which Taylor rocked
Australia, feted like royalty. A year of spats and hecklers,
clashes on stage and off, of head-to-heads with the Dutch superstar
Michael van Gerwen. But most of all this is a year in which Phil
Taylor, one of sport's greatest champions, has looked hard at his
life in his determination to stay in power.
