Discussing The 10 Top Dart Players Of All Time w/Chris Mason and Matthew Edgar 

Not sure who I'd remove but I have to put John Part in that list. Three world titles, decades in the game, involved still in pro darts and massively changed the popularity of the game in North America to the point that darts is huge here now. Even Gary Anderson mentioned that the world tour should come to Canada. John also beat Taylor at the height of his "power" and was world #1 for a while in 2003.

Brilliant stuff matchoo, loving this style of content. Would love to see more

I'm Swiss and I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm happy that I can finally see you play live at the Swiss Open. Good luck

Very interesting discussion. And difficult to argue against! For me personally the glaring omission is Dennis Priestley. I’d have him instead of Wade. Easier to look at titles won now as there are more to play for. I also had Part 10th & Bob 11th simply based on JPs place in the history books (first none UK World Champ & first to win in three venues).

Delighted to see Chris put Bob Anderson in his list. An absolutely phenomenal player and one of the most approachable pro's I've ever met. 👍

Great videos guys. Now days as years ago there are so many great dart players that it is hard to make a list like that. John Part, Steve Beaton, Simon Witlock and Martin Admans just to name a few could also be in there..Looking forward to seeing more from you guys.

You completely forgot the legend and former world ranked no1 - Peter 'one dart' Manley. Imagine how good he'd have been with 3 darts...

The most names are the same as mine. Only a Bob Anderson isn’t ranked that high by me. John Part deserved it more in my opinion. Winning 3 world titles and two in the PDC. His last one with Taylor, RvB and Wade as the top 3 seeds who all featured this list. Then you are a great player who deserves to be in the top 10.

Mine is 1 Taylor 2 MVG 3 Bristow 4 Barneveld 5 Lowe 6 G Anderson 7 Wilson 8 B Anderson 9 Part 10 Priestley Notable mentions to Lewis, Wright and Wade who miss out on my list.

Great to hear the thoughts of another great player. I would find a space for Part and Priestley, probably for Wade and Anderson but it’s hard to keep it to 10. Maybe do a top 20.

As someone who grew up watching darts in the 80s, I always try to find a way to fit Bob Anderson and Jocky Wilson (I am Scottish) into my own top 10, but I struggle. I'm delighted to see Chris Mason find a way to sneak the LImestone Cowboy into his top 10.

A very good list of course. I'd have liked to see Jocky Wilson in it, but honestly I don't know where to put him. Thanks Edgar and Chris for this wonderful conversation.

Great video

I think it’s hard to add the much newer players as the question at the moment is of all time. This could be ever changing over the next decades. Like Mace we’ve seen many over the years. So for me Phil Taylor Eric Bristow MVG RVB Gary Anderson John Lowe Adrian Lewis Dennis Priestly Jocky Wilson Peter Wright I believe Luke Humphries, Luke Littler, Michael Smith and Nathan Aspinall will be in there in the years to come. Great question and of course we will all be different 👍🏻🎯

Hello Matt from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Chris is spot on as always, I’d possibly make a case for John Part maybe instead of Bob Anderson but I understand choosing Bob

For impact on the game a good shout might be Alan Evans winning things just before the Bristows and all

I'm not sure social media would have been very good for James Wade if it had been a thing in his youth, given his mental condition and such. Glad to hear him getting some deserved credit, though!

I think most people are already accepting that Luke Littler is a shoe-in to gatecrash that top 5. John Lowe, John Part .... just two who are certainly in 5-10 👏🏼

Has Lowe still got the check he received way back ? or had he spent such ? As tight as two coatd paint is Lowe .

It's all subjective, Jim Pike was considered the Phil Taylor of his day. The same goes for darts popularity. Technology has made access much easier but darts was extremely popular during the 30s, 40s, and as captain of the news of the world champion darts team who did exhibition matches for charity during the 39, 40s gathered more money for the red cross and other charities than any other sport at the time. Exhibition matches were performed in front of crowds of 17000. So when discussing who was the greatest, it should be noted that in 20 or 30 years time, just like the greats of bygone times all these listed could be as forgotten as the greats of 80 years ago. That said, they were, and are, all great, in my opinion.

I wouldn't have Lewis up there on impact or longevity, but his natural ability, like Gary is top drawer. Pre darts being as popular, Alun Evans was a heck of a player, and i always had a soft spot for the Limestone Cowboy. As for great to watch, Barney so nice to watch when playing well, and i put Hankey in that bracket as well.

I think Part has to be in there! 1st World Champion in 3 different venues, a true pioneer for overseas darts players…..Remember when they left his poster off the Ali Pally wall! He won’t be happy…..? Definitely in front of Wright…. Bob Anderson broke the BristowLowe era, Part broke the Taylor/Priestley era….

We can't really compare the averages of the 80s legends to today due to the thickness of the wires, staples and bounce-outs. Lowe, Anderson and Bristow would certainly be amongst the very best, possibly Rees. Littler should become the GOAT with potentially a 35 year career ahead of him.

I'm disappointed that Matt decided to have Chris 'Hammer Time' Mason on his channel. Who is he going to have next on his channel? Ted Hankey?

1. Taylor 2. Barney 3. Bristow 4. MVG 5. Lowe 6. Part 7. Anderson 8. Wright 9. Adams 10. Priestley

Mason is a bag of knowledge ❤

Dennis Priestley should be in anyone's top 10 of all time list

Taylor Bristow MVG G Anderson Lowe Barneveld Priestley B Anderson A lewis P Wright Wade #11

For me, only the top 3 carved in stone: - Taylor - MVG - Gary Anderson From 4-10 I could pick from like 20 players. Sidenote: I think Barney is a bit overrated, everyone puts him in top 5 but he only won 1 pdc world title, the other 4 are bdo which is let's be honest nowhere near pdc. I always put Adrian Lewis and Peter Wright over Barney

Phil Taylor is quite obviously number one. Some people tend to say that prime MvG was a better player which is also not true though. Taylor's best seasonal average in 2009 (almost 105 throughout the entire season!) is better than MvG's best ever year in 2017 (103 yearly average). It is just that most fans weren't watching darts back then or already forgot what a beast Phil was.

1. Taylor 2. MVG 3. Anderson 4. Barney 5. Bristow 6. Wright 7. Adams 8. Wade 9. Price 10. Lewis So hard to leave out Part, Lowe, Priestly and even Beaton…

Honorable Mention: Fallon Sherrock. She's elevated the status of women's darts more than anybody. As for the top ten, I got interested in darts watching Wade's finishing and listening to Part's commentary. Nobody else has had a greater impression on me, regardless of their records.

1. Taylor 2. MVG 3. Bristow 4. Barney 5. Lowe 6. Anderson 7. Priestley 8. Lewis 9. Part 10. Wright In this order, if Wade one a worlds would have got in

That comment from Mace aeound 4mins is key, Achieving more doesnt necessarily make you a better player, A lot comes down to who else was playing at the time and their level of ability.

Whos the best or greatest is 2 different questions. For me best=talent(MvG) and greatest=most accolades(Phil Taylor).

Checked what chat GPT picks and I agree, all hail A.I. ...... 1-Phil Taylor, 2-MVG, 3- Bristow, 4-RVB, 5-John Lowe, 6- Anderson,7- Jocky Wilson, 8-Priestly,9-Lewis and 10-John Part

Can't believe Wolfie didn't make the list still a great player at nearly 70

Can't complain with Mason's top 10!

Martin Adams makes my top 10, surprised he wasnt picked.

Can't have a top 10 without Matt Edgar in it get real

Where would Alan Evans rate? Probably at his best pre TV but, ask anyone who knew him, or saw him play in money games. Phenomenal.

Peter Wright could crack the top 5 with another world championship and a couple more majors. Though, Gary Anderson looking more likely at the moment.

Thanks Matt...Thanks Chris...Stuff The Days of Ritchie Gardener Jocky Wilson...Nice To Know....Not !!!!

Dennis Priestley?

Agree with Chris Mason on everything. Who can argue with him. He knows more than anyone pretty much.

I absolutely love Bob Anderson, but would replace him with Jocky. He was phenomenal.

Taylor, rvb, mvg, bristow, part, adams,Lewis,Anderson,Priestley, Lowe.👍

Jocky Wilson is a lock top 10

You could say prize money is the blocker for players breaking Phils record these days. Don't have to win half as many titles these days to earn the equivalent to his long career. He had to keep on winning to make a decent living out of it really. But you could argue that motivation should have made his field just as strong too. Taylor was just a beast and one of a kind really. Had to be the GOAT. I think if he was in his 20's of 30's during this era you wouldn't see him dip the way MvG has.

Lewis should come bk give 2 yrs and if not feel it after 2 yr ret as legend and do a players who undeeachived

To me, the only player that could crack the top 5 is John Lowe. Doesn't his major wins stack up well against Gary Anderson's? To this day... John Lowe is STILL my favorite player of all time. I remember Bristow, Lowe Priestly and Bob Anderson in their primes... and I would replace Bob Anderson with John Part.

I'd have dennis Priestley in there

Geez, when the vid first started I thought you two were on a bed😂😂

Jocky Wilson would be in my top 10

Wade out for Part or Priestley

John Part and Dennis Priestly coyld replace Anderson and Van Barnsveldt. It's so close. If P. Wright makes a comeback and wins another worlds . . . ?

Jocky Wilson

1974 i began anyhow what i think below V You have to look at Dartboards back them days i so recall and have played Jocky in 1978 in a bar for some £s. As well as practiced with the guy before a county match , this both us in a lounge bar in Scotland way back as well as he came sat with myself and company after asking me at the bar where seated this was in 1979 at Wembley conference centre Ye some fun times with Jocky i had . But in comparison to todays boards back then with the fat rounded wires and when bounce outs were the norm and slight smaller trebles back then because of them fat rounded wiring Also darts today are so much better with grips on them etc so for me below u have to take all that into account so for me below v. 1/ Jocky Wilson a wee Scots guy who went onto English soil and won the biggest at the time tournament twice on English soil THIS with winning both finals he was in V Englands best V John Lowe in 1982 and V Eric Bristow in 1989 respectively . 2/ Eric Bristow 3/ John Lowe 4/ Mike Gregory a guy whom for me is the best player not to win the biggy and underrated .

I class the best of all time in world titles won if they won the same its who i enjoy so wright over lewis but ade should be in there and i hope he comes back soon

John Part. Jockey Wilson.

What about Trina Gulliver? 10 time World Champion.

John Lowe definitely ranks ahead of RVB and Anderson

Taylor MVG Barney G. Anderson Part Lewis Wade Price Wright Mardle

here's my top 10 1. Taylor. 2. Bristow. 3. MVG. 4. RVB. 5. John Lowe. 6. John Part. 7.Gary Anderson. 8. James Wade. 9. Dennis Priestley. 10. Adrian Lewis.

6 to 10 is impossible really, you could easily make a case for any of John Part, Martin Adams, Dennis Priestley and Jocky Wilson getting in

Bob Anderson Over John Part and Priestley🤷‍♂️

1. Michael van Gerwen 2. Phil Taylor 3. Gary Anderson 4. Van Barneveld 5. Bristow

Taylor number 1 PERIOD argue about the rest

I'm having salmon for tea.

Top 5: MvG, Taylor, Abdulnaser Yusuf, RvB, Bristow

1. taylor 2. mvg 3. bristow 4. barney 5. gary 6. lowe 7. wright 8. priestley 9. wilson 10. lewis only real list

My Top 10 players of all time 1.MVG 2.Phil Taylor 3.Bristow 4.Barneveld 5.Gary Anderson 6.John Lowe 7.Martin Adams 8.Peter Wright 9.Dennis Priestley 10. John Part

John Lowe should be Top 5 before Gary Anderson

There‘s only one bronzed Adonis ,,,,,for over 30 years competitive Darts

Phill Taylor, MVg. Luke Humphries. Luke littler. Gary Anderson. Adrian Lewis, Geywyn Price. RVB. Peter Wright. Eric bristow

What about Martin Adams ?

A top 10 list that doesn't have Duzza on it? HMM 😆

Taylor is the greatest player of all time but MVG is the best player of all time

Where‘s the old stoneface ?

John Lowe in the top 5 for me instead of RVB, and Bristow still ahead of MVG in second. Barney won only one world title with Taylor in the field and not too much more achieved in the PDC. Enough to make top 10 but not top 5. Rounding out the top 10 I'd have the double world champions Part, Priestley, Wright and Lewis in no particular order.

You can’t have someone in a top ten that hasn’t won the world championship. Imho.

lowe over ando

Never understand how John Lowe is always so low down and how Gando is in peoples top 5 above him. There is a few that could easily be interchangeable but here is mine 1. Taylor 2. MvG 3. Bristow 4. Lowe 5. RvB 6. Priestley 7. Gando 8. Wright 9. Wilson (not much to separate the 3 scots) 10. Part

Taylor Bristow MVG RVB Anderson Lowe Wilson Wright Priestley Part or Lewis or Bob Anderson Price and the 2 Luke's could well gatecrash the top 10 in the next few years. Martin Adams never won against the very best.

Taylor MVG Barney Anderson Bristow Wright Lewis Part Lowe Priestly

1. Mathew Edgar 2. Phil Taylor 3. MVG This top 3 is obvious.

I hated James wade as a player as he was dull to watch.

No way you can have Wade over John Part as he has never made a world final and never averaged 100 in a match in the worlds. Shows how top level has never been good enough and arguably he has overachieved with the number of TV majors he has won.

James Wade should be no 1. Aside from his remarkable record on the board, what wasn't mentioned was the fact that he also managed to bag the hottest walk on girl of all time as his wife. James Wade is the GOAT.

It's van Gerwen at number 1 for me. I don't believe Taylor would have dominated as long as van Gerwen did in this field. Different times.

Jockey Wilson number 5

Great video
