Phil the power Taylor hello Phil how are you I’m fantastic thank you how was yourself I’m good I’m very well thank you before we took darts I was just telling benty my co-host about the time you and I sat next to each other do you remember at Wembley Stadium to watch FR

Grov 2 yeah we watched um yeah George grov Anthony Joshua was on yeah I do remember yeah do you remember what you said to me when I sat down you’re gorgeous I you did I think you said I’ve made Barry earn so much money I can’t believe I’m this far away from The

Ring are you are you good are you well I’m I’m fine yeah yeah not too bad no no flues or sniffles or nothing so I’m fine that way good listen I got so much to talk to you about in the world of darts but let’s just talk about you and what’s

Happening tonight because you’re taking part in the world seniors Dart tour that’s the 15th to the 18th of February it’s at the circus Tavern I know the tickets some tickets still are available at the D shop.tmp DC you were playing every week week in and week out and I’m obviously I

Got too old for that so this one now I’ll play I’ll play Friday and then I’ve got few weeks off then and then I’ll play again and then have a few a couple months off it’s great you know it’s not taxing like it used to be I’m too old

For that running around now Phil do you still play regular I know you you’re playing in this this world senior darts tour but I’m talking about in your spare time do you still put hours in on the board no not at all no I can’t do it anymore 60 64 this

Year I tell you what I do now I’ll do 10 minutes and then I go then I’ll sit down and then I’ll do another 10 minutes and I sit down then I’ll have another 10 so I break it up during the day or I might

Do half an hour so I do it like that well I could play two or three hours years ago I I struggle now Phil let me ask you do you still get the same buzz when you take to the stage and even more so when you’ve got an event like you

Have in the next few days at such an iconic venue of the circus tabn where of course so many World Championships were played yeah it never leaves you there it’s lovely you know when when you you walking down you sh you know bumping fist with with people there supporting

You who will pay good money to come and see you know bought the ticket traveled probably got taxis and everything and it’s lovely it is it is a lovely thing to see you know and it’s it’s it’ll never leave me memory there I mean the

Circus T more especially I mean I won it eight years on the try here so this has always been my own adart really wow listen we’ll come back to you and darts in just a moment as in the world seniors tour I just I have to get your view on

The what’s happening in the world of darts at the moment and of course Luke ller he’s uh his name seems to be on everyone’s lips what do you make of such a naturally gifted player at such a young age I think he’s I think he’s absolutely fantastic I’ve got to be

Honest with you and I know he’s put getting the backs up of the the other Pros which I love to see Luke um how can I say I wasn’t really watching darts I wasn’t that interested in it and he’s made me interested in watching it again I even watched some of the streaming

Yesterday so I mean that’s not me but I’ve really enjoyed watching him he’s a great little player he’s got a great little personality and it hasn’t affected him yet I think I don’t think it ever will I think he’ll keep his feet on on the ground no matter how many

Tournaments he achieves I think he’ll be a nice young lad I think he’ll keep it nice Phil how far can he go and and when I say that I mean listen 16 time world champion is is absolutely incredible do you think he can get anywhere near that

I well I don’t know I mean he’s capable anybody’s capable I think it’s more difficult now because the schedule’s that busy and also there’s a lot more better players than when I was around you know but I I could have competed with Luke when I was younger but it

Could be very got now to win 16 me time titles how how young were you when you started playing and how long were you how young were you when you got on the pro tour oh uh we didn’t have a pro tour then um I started playing Dart probably

When I was about four years old and in the house because we didn’t have TVs when I was a kid right Dad one we had no electricity in the house so we couldn’t plug anything in and secondly they hadn’t got the money to buy one but um prop properly playing darts about 25

Years old playing in the local leagues super league and whatnot wow so he’s got a lot of years on you right I mean he’s 16 just turned 17 young Luke yeah he’s amazing absolutely amazing I wouldn’t have St a chance against him at 17 years old but

If you if you watch his videos he’s been playing since he was about 18 months old yeah it’s crazy nappy yeah that is me and Barney in the final that’s that’s right he’s doing the Barney uh the celebration in his Napp how he’s he’s recently got a nine D his second one

Since turning pro how young or old were you when you got your first not on telly but when you achieved your first nine data field first nine da probably 33 34 wow that’s it when you think about that I mean you’re the greatest player ever

To pick up a dart and when you think about about ller sorry go on one thing you got to remember though the dart boards weren’t the same then they were round wires they were thicker wires the darts weren’t as good as what they are now I mean everything’s improved it’s no

Different than football Cricket golf snooker whatever the equipment’s improved the products have improved and it does help I think if I’d had that dart board what they play on now when I was 30 I’d have done one in the first 12s do you really okay just explain then

To people like me and bety they haven’t played at your level how different the dart board is today and why it’s different compared to the one when you started out well the wires now are like razor blade edges if now if you go into say look in the Argos book or something

And you have a look at the cheaper boards you know the little boards you can buy for like 10 or 15 pound they’ve got the round wires on and you’ll see the difference we you more or less had a bounce out every every six DS you’d have

A bounce out wow wow so it’s a lot easier to I say easier you know I’m talking about the top top level so a lot easier to hit oh yeah yeah yeah The Trebles are slightly bigger because the wires are so thin are they really bounce

Out the tri are big Che that board in there it’s almost too easy now Phil isn’t it it’s not too easy Phil I’ve got ask I’ve got ask you Phil you wouldn’t realize unless you un you spent a month with one of the lads the traveling the late nights you know

You’re talking five six days a week away from o now yeah have you played him by the way ler i’ I played him yeah no not yet I don’t want to play him be quite honest with it would you like no you must you must want to play him right I mean great

Seeing you two on the oy no do you not want to play him no do you no I don’t but I think it’ be I think the fans would love to see that that’ be a great exhibition match yeah yeah thank you very much you it’s like

An xboxer Rick at now G in with with the the best boxer in the world it ain’t going to happen would you would you really if he asked you to play would you really not play him in a proper match no no no exhibition exhibition match no play me

An exhibition match yeah one leg a 301 or something I go first that’d be nice Phil i’ got to ask you about this I mean A lot’s been made of of fans whistling um at Players certainly when they’re playing against luk litner um I mean what what are your thoughts on that

It’s been like this for years mate honestly I mean budd’s budd’s you know ethic is is just let them enjoy the sales you know they paying the money just let them enjoy the sales but he does get does get over the top we get called well we used to get called some

Terrible names when you’re playing you can really hear everything can you oh you do hear everything wow I think was was it going in price that put headphones on the World Championships not too long ago I do remember that yeah yeah that was a bit bad it is that bad

At times yeah okay well listen I’m hoping you won’t get that when you’re playing at the circus T just tell us a bit more about it what can fans expect and how special is it for you going to be back playing again there I I love it

Down here I mean the circus stav was was really far from lak side when I was with the BDO has always been like the home of darts for me it’s been great and it’s it’s not a massive massive Club it’s got so it’s got a nice atmosphere it’s more

Up close and personal like you go Alexander Palace the crowd is probably 30 behind you here they literally two feet behind you yeah okay well listen H have a lovely evening Phil thank you I know you don’t play till tomorrow is that right 15th it all begins if tomorrow it starts yeah tomorrow
