A discussion which seems to continue in the darting world especially during lockdown is who are the top five best ever players and PDC commentator Dan Dawson has weighed in with an outside pick for the list in Peter Wright.

Dawson spoke in a recent interview and said that if he would have won all the titles he could have done, he'd be right up there.

But he put the way he plays including his never giving up attitude in his pursuit of the top which of course he reached this past Christmas at the World Championship into discussion as well.

"Everyone in the world makes the same top three. It's just what order you put them in. Then it's who do you give four and five to. I know it might be a case of recency bias but genuinely in my time covering darts Peter Wright is so so good," said Dawson to The Weekly Dartscast.

"I really do think obviously he got over whatever was holding him back in beating Van Gerwen at the World Championship beating him in the final. When you look at how many major finals he's been in and could have won and some he definitely should have won."

"If you'd given him the Premier League where he missed six match darts, if you'd given him the World Grand Prix where he should have been 4-0 up, he should have won the Champions League. He was very close in other ones as well," he continued.

"He starts getting right up there in terms of the most decorated major winners in PDC history, when you couple that with the averages he's thrown and the fact he's been going for quite a long time now and forced his way to where he is.

The way he plays the game, the surgical way he manoeuvres his darts, he's one of the greatest I've seen."
