Adrian Lewis hitting a no-look 180 to Michael van Gerwen mocking a failed nine-dart finish attempt from Dave Chisnall - it is often the most talented stars that capture the imagination.

Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor’s return to the sport is already over after he was dumped out of the World Seniors at the quarter-final stage by Kevin Painter.Taylor had won the previous 31 meetings between the pair in succession, but saw that run was ended by ‘The Artist' at the Circus Tavern.‘The Power’ had retired from darts four years ago after winning a record 16 world championships but returned to take part in the inaugural World Seniors tournament.He defeated Peter Manley by three sets to one in the second round to set up a quarter-final clash with Painter on Saturday night.Despite his long history of success against Painter, his World Seniors tournament run ended in disappointment.Painter was dominant, winning nine of the 12 legs to ease into the semi-finals where he will face Robert Thornton.Taylor bounced back from losing the first leg by squaring things up, before Painter hit double 10 and then took out 106 to seal the opening set.‘The Artist’ then stormed into the lead in the second set, hitting three 140s before breaking Taylor’s throw with a double 18.Who is the greatest darts player of all time?

Peter Manley was still selling red tops (ahem) while he was going for double top during his early days as a darts player - because he was still working as a newsagent.During a colourful career at the top that spanned just over 20 years, Manley reached three PDC World Darts Championship finals – losing to Phil Taylor on all three occasions.Despite those runs to the final and his brief status as the game's number one player, One Dart only ever won one major tournament - the now-defunct Las Vegas Desert Classic in 2003. Manley, who is now 59, first made his mark on the big stage in 1995 when he reached the final of the BDO European Masters at Lakeside - a tournament he actually had to qualify for.

That made me laugh.“This is not the world championship, but I would love to win it.
