After winning his 15th world title in January last year, many people were left wondering what was left for Phil Taylor to achieve in the sport.

Playing against James Wade in the final of the Premier League Darts, he threw his first nine darter in the second leg to send the Wembley crowd into raptures. His second didn’t come until the 15th leg when he finished a perfect leg with a double 12.
