Re: where do you rate john boy and ted
Despite the fact this thread is obviously a wind up , I'll bite.
John Boy had one phenomenal season ,but pretty much jack shit since so nowhere near an all time great.
Ted could and would have been an all time great for certain if he would have concentrated on his darts rather than antics on the oche. Moving to the PDC when he did was a terrible decision for him and the politics and grandstanding at Lakeside that year, in my honest opinion, cost him a third world title. Would probably place him somewhere just inside the top 30 of all time .

Watched him in an exbo local to me a few years ago and he was absolute gash.
His pissed up showing at the GS was the funniest thing I have ever seen.
You know he is on the edge of meltdown, just needs someone to light the blue touch paper, so we can sit back and bask in Teds antics.

Re: where do you rate john boy and ted
how many player could of beat john boy in 2001. no one past or present. it was his stage. proper boards. lakey pressure. most impressive world champion ever. just 1 year but it deserve respect at the end of the day.BlueSpark wrote:No one did beat him, hence he won.thelad1985 wrote:no could of beat john boy at lakey 2001. hankey won two lakeys when lakey at its best. where they rank all time.

Re: where do you rate john boy and ted
I suppose it depends upon how you rate the winning of the title rather than the player in the all time list. What I mean by that is John boy's win has to be one of the best title wins, top ten imo because he was unplayable in most games. Ted's win v baxter will be there too as is Richie Burnett's and jockey's first.
Top of the list for me is probably John Part's 2003 beating of Taylor is for me the best winning performance, Taylor averaged a ton but Part just refused to be beaten and pulled out the gutsiest performance of all, again imo.

Re: where do you rate john boy and ted
Good old John Boy had one decent season, then faded into obscurity, hopelessly out of his depth when he tried the PDC.
Remember Parts win like it was yesterday.
We were all sat in the pub enthralled with the action.
That said, Barneys win against Taylor the best final I have seen.

Best single final performance was Jocky beating Bristow .

Not sure I could think of 29 players who rank higher than a 2 time world champion on an all time list.Ecky Thump wrote:Despite the fact this thread is obviously a wind up , I'll bite.

World championships are everything. World champion>Not a world champion in most cases for me (although you can argue a few grey areas and exceptions, but the 2000 win isn't one that can be ignored by any darts fan and theres not 29 players who have achieved better.
