PDC Replay - Phil Taylor v Wayne Mardle World Championship Quarter Final 2008 

What a fantastic match, Mardle enjoying the audience the whole match, no matter how the situation was.

Sid Waddell and John Gwynne, the legendary commentator lineup

Mardle is just awesome on stage. Love it.

"You could hear the fall of a fly's dandruff".😂😂 Jesus, I miss Sid.

Brilliant charisma. I've watched this so many times. 1 of my favourite matches of all time. The underdog and 1 if my sporting heroes. Fantastic Wayne.

I bet Mardle & Painter still have nightmares about losing in the Semis in 2008. A world title was there for the taking with Kirk "Shite" Shepherd making it to the Final.

This is better than any series/film on Netflix

Love watching these older matches. Every time i find it so unbelievable the difference in the crowds. No way in todays game would have they been this quiet or hearing the crowd shh while the darts are being thrown lol great match

"He's bouncing up there like Chuck Berry on a benefit night in Louisiana" only Sid could give us stuff like that. R.I.P. Sid

I just love Wayne's character, and I'm sure that more than me miss him in pcs

A golden (short) era of darts. Special nights. 🎯 ❤

I got'a hand it to all the camera men for such a fine job covering the spectators. Great experience to watch this again. Thanks for this posting once again. Taylor must have believed he was cursed to go cold after a decent start of this game.

Most legendary walk-on ever!!!

wow i first watched the other pdc replay from the final of 2007 between van barneveld and taylor and i did notice that the croud was only concentration about the match. I first thought it was because it was a final and in a smaller room but then i watched this clip and still 95% are their for the darts. It makes me very sad that nowadays after 5 minutes the croud isn,t really watching anymore only if their is a 180 or a 9darter opertunity only 5% is now their for the darts it makes me very sad because this atmosphere makes games more exciting to watch. I was born in 1997 and i don,t think this atmosphere is ever gonna come back but we can only hope.

Good stuff Dave. Thanks for uploading these replays.

This should of been the final, what an amazing match to behold

This is one of my favorite matches to watch, Mardle and Taylor was so much fun to watch!

Wayne's 180 celebrations Brilliant

I like Mardle, a great character

Remember watching this live back then was chuffed for Wayne great game nice to see it again

RIP John Gwynne

Aside from the dartsmen playing the game now-a-days, Wayne Mardle is the personality that keeps people watching the sport on Sky. He's done as much for the game as what Crafty, Power and MVG have. Hawaii took up the mantle Syd left when he passed away.

Any chance we might get to see the entire 2nd Round match between Phil Taylor v Michael Smith from the 2014 World Matchplay (featuring The Power's 10th TV 9-darter)? It WAS up on RU-vid but was taken down later.

Last leg was a miscount. Mardle scored 70 first 3 darts, yet they left him on 416. This will forever haunt me now 😂

I couldn’t believe Mardle lost the semi, he was clear to the trophy after that

Can you upload Sheperd vs Mardle Semi Final ?

this is brillant thanks pdc also cud u upload adrian lewis v phil taylor from grand prix 2011 great match

Waw. Didn't know about this match what a performance from Mardle 👍🎯

well...i have been around 58 years..first time ive seen that game !

Taylor had a real bad day at the office here.

Wow. What a match! Has to be one of the great ones?

Would make my day if you could upload Wade Lewis 2012 semi final or 2011 final thanks very much

This match would've been a great final to watch

Can you upload me the final of Ladbrokes world darts championship 2008 final please thanks ryan

People mock mardle yet he performed in every big game he had other than that semi final against shepard.

7:35 pure athleticism

Best reaktion ever!!!

@ 1:25:33 'Rockin n Rollin like Chuck Berry on benefit in Louisiana' . . :) :)

1:12:36 - Mardle steps on Phil's foot :)

One of the best matches for sure.... Love seeing taylor ger beat

bloody hell i wonder what justin pipe's average visit time would be? 10 seconds per dart lol

During the walk on, when WM shouts come on into the camera, does anyone think he looks like the guy saying I'm home as he is about to blow up the alien ship in Independence Day?

Then lost to Shepherd of all people.

This is why I love Mardle. The only player who comes close with the theatrics is Ricky Evans.

This was when Phil was in his prime which is insane

This was a historic moment, as it marked the first time that The Power had ever failed to reach the World Darts Championship Final.

remember watching this didnt give wayne any chance especially when phil went 3-0 up

Finally beats Phil only to lose to a nobody, even to this day he must be kicking himself over that.

Best darts player there will ever be

How ally pally looks so different now wow 🎯🎯🎯

Mardell was 34 here and looks 50

There's a mistake there on the scoreboard. In the last leg Mardle starts with a 70, so 501-70=431, but the scoreboard says 416 (that can be achived if you throw 85). So in fact he was 15 points ahead the real score.

Sid droning on about "Taylors stacker darts" was absolutely tedious.

To go through all that and then to lose to kirk shepherd 🤨

What a character hawaii 5 0

I've never seen darts stand so tall as Wayne's.

This happened when Phil was going through hard personal times, Phil his darts were falling short of the treble and his finishing was terrible, however this doesnt say Wayne didnt deserve to win it was a fantastic game he never gave up and Phil was gracious in defeat.

BEER-because DARTS & DARTS-because BEER =P

Imagine losing to someone can't even throw his darts straight

I'm reasonably new to the darts history, but not to darts,The internet was still very young, when I played in clubs & pubs in competitions , for fun.Ive recently caught up a bit with streaming ! I wonder whether 🤔 this Victory was Wayne's Finest Hour ? , He played the match in commendable & remarkable spirit ,& perhaps 🤔 was ahead of his time ? ,tell me, but his walk on was so similar to Snakebites antics ? , Well done Wayne 👏 ✔, World titles don't divine eveything ,in life, You beat Phil Taylor, who was sat on 13 World titles, still had 3 to go ! , Phil had no problems 😊 with congratulations for the winner because I think he appreciated your bubbly spirit ,no matter how each leg went ! 😀 I will enjoy your current match commentary all the more, Your well qualified 👍 to make the call.

The walk on songs sound out of tune

Mardle won the match the moment he stepped on that stage.

And then he got horsed off Kirk Shepherd in the semis.

then he lost to Kirk shepherd lol

Taylor had too many pints before the match...was too drunk to win.

Wayne is more a sportsman then the bum Gerwyn Price

Mardles greatest achievement, beating Taylor to get to a semi final. Crying as if he's won the thing only to get blasted out again in the semi's by a one hit wonder. God I hate Mardle.

just noticed how shit mardle was at darts haha hes really not the standard of pdc

Worst commentator in modern darts. Criticises everything that players try to do during games like going for unfavourable checkouts and such, despite never winning anything himself. He talks like he’s some kind of darting god because he beat Taylor lol
