Peter Wright
Cliff Lazarenko
Mike Gregory ; Alan Evans , possibly Peter Wright, then as you say Wade but not sure about Witcombe. He got to two finals Baxter so maybe 5th or 6th.phil davies wrote:About to go out for the night will do it tomorrow when I can think about it properly but would certainly put Jenkins, Wade and Whitcombe above him from the top of my head.DavidB wrote:phil davies wrote:Deffo not the best player never to win a world title not even in the top 5 IMO.

Mike also won the first couple of PDC (then WDC) events......before his famous return to BDO.DavidB wrote:Lee Taylor wrote:Mike Gregoryphil davies wrote:About to go out for the night will do it tomorrow when I can think about it properly but would certainly put Jenkins, Wade and Whitcombe above him from the top of my head.DavidB wrote:phil davies wrote:Deffo not the best player never to win a world title not even in the top 5 IMO.

Peter Wright
Cliff Lazarenko
Mike Gregory definitely although did win the British Pro.
Peter Wright still got a chance!
Big Cliff indeed although did win a couple of tv events.
Tony O’Shea for me one of the best never to win the world title or even a major.
There won under the equal darts rule the WDC had then so it's not really a true reflection of a normal 'tournament' winLee Taylor wrote:

It's better than a normal tournament win as each player actually has an equal chance in each match.el_ringo wrote:There won under the equal darts rule the WDC had then so it's not really a true reflection of a normal 'tournament' winLee Taylor wrote:
