AS WE’VE DISCOVERED on TheScore.ie over the past couple of days, Phil ‘the Power’ Taylor is a very divisive figure.
He is undoubtedly the greatest practitioner the world of darts has ever seen. Afterall, sixteen world championships speak for themselves. However, it’s also clear that many people don’t like him because of a perceived arrogance and aggression on the oche.
He’s not the only example of course, there are many who admire the achievements of Ronaldo, Tom Brady and Paul Galvin but could never cheer for them.
