Sure, genuinely interested!
Whitcombe did win two World Masters and Wade has won many majors.
Jenkins a better player than Baxter? Not sure myself but both did seem not to be able to win a major although Jenkins never got to a world final.

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.
Re: RE: Re: Wheres Ronnie Baxter
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.

Re: Wheres Ronnie Baxter
Can’t really include Peter Wright given he’s still an active player unless he’s being written off already??

Re: Wheres Ronnie Baxter
Best player never to have won the world title has to be Whitlock
As he's the only person to have lost on both sides of the divide without ever being World Champion

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:
