Also convicted in May 2001 of 2 counts of indecent assault against 2 women he took back to his caravan in Fife after an exhibition match in 1999. With the 1999 allegations still kept secret until his trial, he was named in the 2001 New Year’s Honours list that he was due to receive an MBE for services to sport, but in March of 2001, the allegations had become public knowledge due to the trial taking place & him being found guilty. His MBE award was annulled before he received it. He was sentenced in May 2001 to pay a fine of £2,000. There’s no way the sentence would be that lenient today. They were both young (late teens) and he was 39. Both girls were drunk, and he tried to take advantage of them. One was laying down on the back seat when Taylor tried to kiss her when she didn’t want to. He also “fondled” both girls as well. More detail in the below archived BBC article. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/1306433.stm He was a very gifted player, but his character was also just plain horrible as well. Remember the 2012 World Semi Final, when Barney was 5-1 down in sets, then Barney won the next 3 sets to get to 5-4 behind before Taylor eventually crossed the line 6-4. Taylor gave an over the top celebration & when Barney shook his hand & then went in for a hug, Taylor just completely lost it, shoving Barney away & shouting at him. The bouncers at the bottom of the steps off the stage to the players area had to get Taylor out of the way, while Barney was left confused at congratulating Taylor for winning, only for him to kick off at him. As fans, Sky Sports, and other media were all talking about what a twat he’d been & how disgraceful his behaviour was, he appeared via a video call from his home suddenly saying how sorry he was & how embarrassed he was, and that he would “retire tomorrow” if people wanted him to.🤦♂️ Even if people *had* called for him to retire, would he have honoured it? Not a chance!!
When Phil was changing his set up with the chunky barrels, in the premier league while still with Unicorn, it took a few weeks to get it right, I remember and still smile about it to this day when Manley beat him and Peter took the board down to sign effin' quality 😂
Peter Manley is actually a really nice guy despite a few spats with other players here and there. Does a huge amount for the game as chairman of the Players’ Union.
I remember that game… Manley beat him 8-3 in the Premier League on the Thursday in February 2008 and I played him a couple of days later in Stoke on Trent in a meet up at the Roebuck Inn and I remember looking at his new chunky darts, they were the Unicorn Sigma Pro dart, thinking they just weren’t right for him and I sat with him and chatted for probably a good couple of hours and conversation turned to his darts. Being someone who had knowledge of Unicorn’s range at the time, I was aware of a new dart Unicorn had called the Golden Hero range which was player signature darts with a Phil Taylor grip and suggested he tried the John Lowe version and if he liked them, get Unicorn to make a 26gram version (they originally were made in 20, 22 and 24 grams) in a slightly longer dart. His wife at the time had a set, he tried them, loved them and Unicorn made a 26gram version that were called the Phase 5 and he won 3 world championships with them.
I think this in just the pattern you can see in many "(one of the) best of the sport" athletes. I immediatly think of Michael Schumacher, who had many controversies, as well as Ronny O'Sullivan and all of his antics. I guess you don't get good in a single thing without being a bit weird.
Ronnie O’Sullivan is just a bit lost in his own head at times aha I don’t think he’s ever intentionally played mind games with anyone the way Phil Taylor used to
Trying to get an advantage over your opponent is nothing wrong, even morally. You're there to win, not to be a nice guy and make friends. If your opponent is put off by it then they need to work on themselves first to be the bigger person and become unphased by such mindgames. In football players dive, lie on the ground making faces as if they are dying on the spot to get a foul called, only to run around again 2 minutes later. Yet nobody is annoyed at that or thinks it's morally wrong?
@@alexanderjames6328it's not that. MVG plays in a totally different era. In Taylor's time, he was the only one who could hit 100+ averages consistently. Now you get guys outside the top twenty in the world who can comfortably hit ton plus averages. The level of competition MVG is up against is so much tougher than what Taylor felt.
@@Josh_J91 And every year Micheal got a little bit better. Until he had Phil well and truly beat. For me the question is more; when was the moment MvG took over as the 'big boy of darts' It could be the whitewash in the premier league, but I think it was the 2016 final of the world matchplay. When Phil, knowing he was beat, turned up the antics, cause he knew that outplaying his opponent was no longer an option. Either way, it was Micheal van Gerwen that raised the level of the game. And sent Phil Taylor into retirement. Finally.
@@ZZZzzzap12 hahaha your dumb Phil got to final of the 2018 world Championship after that so no mvg didn't send him into retirement, and its just world's that matter at the end of the day no one cares about any other title and phil played Michael 3 times in world's n panned him 3 times the 2013 final was absolutely hilarious to see micheal in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣. MVG 3 world titles that is shocking considering hes in his prime should be on 7 8 by now.
Yea same as bunting and Webster. Pundits claiming there former world champions when actually there not . Pdc is the premiership . Bdo was always for the rookie type player.
@@jamiehayes5888how old are you, 12? Phil Taylor has 16 world titles and is billed as such, and two of them are BDO titles. I’m guessing Bristow has no world titles? Jockey Wilson? The BDO fell off massively after Barney left in 2006.
Phil is disturbing. Like a 60 year old baby. Truly a strange bloke. Great darts player but a total narcissist and weirdo.

I dont care what anyone says, I will always like Phil Taylor!
As a player ? Sure
As a human - no
MVG as a human is an arrogant type as well, but I guess you cannot see that.
MVG isn’t arrogant, he is just normally confident in his own game
So you like sexual predators? Nice choice!😂
2 videos now where I've seen your "Watch time from subscribers".
I like it, deserves a follow 👍
taylor always got the board signed, it wasnt an end of his career thing like stated
Never used to want to sign it when he lost though. Biggest sore loser ever.
He did it a lot more towards his latter career, I believe that’s what was meant
When Phil was changing his set up with the chunky barrels, in the premier league while still with Unicorn, it took a few weeks to get it right, I remember and still smile about it to this day when Manley beat him and Peter took the board down to sign effin' quality 😂
And i recollect manley being whitewashed in the world final ❤
Yes, twice.

Phil is the GOAT
102 T.V. Titles
Incredible stat
Mardle loved having an opportunity to put Phil down as a pundit it’s kinda amusing lol
Can’t be anything more controversial than his camper van exploits
😂😂😂 Pesting 🎯🎯
Nothing like a bit of salt finger with a loose slap bag, lol.
Was he tossing salad?
@@howardsend6589 😂😂 In his jiz van.
I am sure there's a three in the bed joke in there somewhere.

Don't matter who's won what it all depends on the day
The bdo world championship is like the ibo world championship in boxing

You think nobody has a problem with diving in football? It's probably the most slated thing in all of sport
There is no denying that Phil is a bit of a weird bloke... but, then, maybe you've got to be a bit weird to win 16 world championships.
Sex pest was he not. Charged by police in Scotland
No, just media BS. Even so, you know how some folks believe anything the media spews out.
Guys a beast
Thankfully, Micheal sent Phil packing....
Their head2head would suggest otherwise. MVG will never achieve what Mr Taylor has, he's just too damned arrogant and inconsistent.

3 meetings in the world championship
3 wins for Taylor including the epic 2013 comeback in the final 😂😂😂😂

Nothing will make me ever dislike Mr Taylor... other players have done it... mentioning no names.
Didn't he sexually abuse two women in his caravan
Not even his sexual assault case??
Phil the (come back to my caravan I'm a paedo) power taylor
they weren't underage so hardly a paedo, sex pest yes, paedo no
Phil Taylor bad mannered English man .. Bristow was the same..
Hardly controversial. Just like the cheat video where you claim players were adjusting the weight of their darts mid game! Total rubbish.
Phil is the GOAT! No one will come close to him in terms of World Championships.
They will one day
@@chrisoconnor8392I highly doubt it…
@anthonymatute6057 why is that? Not heard of a young lad from Liverpool?
@@chrisoconnor8392 You mean Luke Littler?
@@anthonymatute6057 of course
it's shit mate. 2002 wants its powerpoint back.
Oooo you’re hard
Taylor the best ever👌
Not a nice person 🤮
I think it's stupid how they always say barney has 5 world title when better players where competing in another world championship at the same time
Correct !
Yea same as bunting and Webster.
Pundits claiming there former world champions when actually there not .
Pdc is the premiership .
Bdo was always for the rookie type player.
@@jamiehayes5888 Always ??
Not really, when barney was in the bdo the standard was much higher. Anderson failed to win a bdo title
