That was the first time since 1992 there was a world championship final without Phil Taylor in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He first qualified for the tournament in 1990 and won it at the first attempt.

The following year he lost in the quarter final, and every single year since he's made the final of either the BDO or the PDC world championship - until this year!!
