Due to Coronavirus, darts has come to a halt but DartsNews as a result takes a look back at some historic moments from darting history with this time Phil Taylor once again being the focus.
Twelve years ago, Taylor brilliantly took the victory at the 2008 World Matchplay. In the final, 'The Power' faced James Wade, who could offer little resistance to his compatriot.
While the 16-time world champion needed one more leg to claim the tie, 132 was left to win.
Taylor started on the bullseye, but the dart went into the 25 and almost completely blocked the bullseye.
After finding the treble 19, he managed to do the impossible by finding the bullseye.
Watch Taylor's brilliance below:

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
