Phil Taylor

[EvilPie]

Steve Davis won it back in the late 80's.

Snooker must be along similar lines to darts as far as being a sport is concerned and Taylor's dominance is probably higher than Davis'.

And you could hardly call Davis a "personality". Not back then anyway, now he's pure com.

Maybe there's a chance for Phil?

Steve Davis has been in the top three of SPOTY five times - more than anyone else.

taylor for spoty is just lol. he may have won like a million world titles but still 90% of the british public have no idea who he is whereas everyone's heard of the cycling bloke and indeed every past winner

the chances of a public vote being won by someone the public don't know is somewhat slim

[DUNK619]

spoty is a joke full stop

Irony.

If Phil Taylor doesnt win sports personality of the  year before he retires, then the award is worthless

The man is brutal

lol

he'll win it the same year kim jong il wins the peace prize and rebbeca adlington is voted FHM's sexiest woman.

probably, but he deserves it more than any other sportsman around today or past 20 years.

The man is the best in his chosen field by a country mile!

yes the man is best in his chosen field, so is bob smith in championship underwater weightlifting. the point is who gives a fuck?

possibly the worst statement Blonde has seen!

Clearly 6,000-10,000 people give a fuck every thursday up and down the country during the PLD Paying over £20 a ticket each, not to mention all the other tourney's every other week and 5,000+ in Vegas during the Dessert Classic half way round the world...... with the sponsors pumping £7M prize money into the PDC every year, means clearly millions of viewers give a fuck. Just because your not a fan doesn't mean Taylor shouldn't be praised for being the true champion that he really is.

you should've given the example where they hit the dizzy heights of 11,697, i'd of been convinced

5,000+ in Vegas during the Dessert Classic half way round the world

yeah cos most of em think they'll get to see hatton whilst theyre out there when taylors licking his arse.

not even a mil, pathetic really.

Big Brother gets 5 times as many viewers meaning if you were to show a picture of the latest BB star(someone thats been on t.v only a matter of weeks) it's far more likely they'd know who the bb star was than the wholey anonymous taylor. and this is the guy you think should win spoty? just lol.

Just because your not a fan doesn't mean Taylor shouldn't be praised for being the true champion that he really is.

firstly when did i say i wasnt a fan and with regards to me not acknowledging his achievements..............

"yes the man is best in his chosen field so is bob smith in championship underwater weightlifting. the point is who gives a fuck"?

the next SPOTY..................................

utter pish, PDC paid out £5m Last year, and upped the money to £7M this year.

This aside, Taylor is one of the most recognisable sports people in Britian today, he is on the face of everything related to Darts, PDC, PLD, Sky Sports, Wii/PS2/3/PSP games.

You can't deny it Bolty
