An emotional Dennis Harbour talks to Helen following his win over Phil Taylor. "I just can't believe it, I have just beaten my idol" #WorldSeniorsMasters
Dennis Harbour achieved one of the finest results of his career last weekend by beating the great Phil Taylor. The two Englishmen met in the quarter-finals of the World Seniors Darts Masters.
Taylor took a 2-1 lead in that match in sets, but it was Harbour who then went on to win 4-2. And that caused quite a stir for the 61-year-old amateur dart player.
"I just can't believe it, I have just beaten my idol," Harbour said emotionally afterwards in conversation with interviewer Helen Chamberlain. "I've followed Phil for years. I'm so pleased."
Harbour had also beaten Martin Adams earlier in the tournament. In the last four, however, he lost 5-2 to Richie Howson. The latter in turn went down 6-2 to Leonard Gates in the final of the World Seniors Darts Masters.

- I hope it does get some harsh crowd treatment,,, it should not even be there. However, it failed at it own XY chromosome level... so now - it has to try and make itself look good playing amongst the ladies. Not good.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I agree with you, thebogeyman... I hope it gets the full hairdryer treatment. An imposter (failed male) that has to compete with women to look good. Grim.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I can imagine van Leuven will indeed be booed out of the building and championship, the crowd will be on his back reminiscent of when Justin Pipe played Phil Taylor. The crowd are usually boisterous and out of control at the best of times.richieburnettrocks21-10-2024
