"He'll beat Phil Taylor's record": Gerwyn Price doesn't see Luke Littler being stopped despite six wins in a row over World Champion
PDC
Gerwyn Price doesn't see anybody stopping the darting juggernaut that is Luke LIttler with 'The Iceman' equivocally clear that he sees the 16-time record going of Phil Taylor under his darting domination.
Price won Night Six in Nottingham of the Premier League Darts and continues to have Littler's number winning six times on the spin as it seems that 'The Iceman' can get into the head of the 18-year-old in a way others can't.
"It was more important for me to get that first win against Stephen (Bunting). I tried so hard, the crowd was a bit difficult today but it's nothing I haven't had in the past. I got through it, my adrenaline got me through it. I think the crowd actually got me through it as if they hadn't had got my heart beating and me getting the way I was, they actually got me through it even though they were a bit against me," said Price.
"Relax a bit against Michael van Gerwen, played a bit better. I really wanted to win that final obviously for points and to get a sixth win against Luke, I'm not sure how long that's going to lost as he's a brilliant player and I respect him massively. That's probably why I play good against him."
"I think he just falls a little bit against me, sometimes I do play really well against him like I did in Bahrain and a couple of times I played really well. Tonight I didn't so it was probably more in his head over the way I was playing but I hope that continues."
"I'm enjoying the game at the minute. Winning does breed confidence. But right from the start even though I lost the first game, I just kept positive. Exeter, Brighton, no points. Today I really wanted to. I'm positive that's why I'm playing so well."
But while that is the case, he only sees a freak occurrence of another Littler type phenom coming through to stop him. He said that in comparison to Van Gerwen and Taylor, he is different.
"I sit on a table with James Wade and Jim Williams at ProTours and I said I think he'll beat Phil Taylor's record unless it's somebody that comes in the new generation that's going to stop him. I think it's three or four players now that can beat him. But if those players go out of tournaments, he's winning. Everybody, like you say, everybody sort of falls apart against him. He is that good."
"Michael (van Gerwen) was good when he was young, Phil Taylor's brilliant but I think he's different."

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
