But at 57, the 16-times world champion is now back for one more bite at glory after his 6-1 semi-final defeat of Jamie Lewis.

What has Phil Taylor said ahead of the final?
Taylor reeled off six sets in a row to beat Jamie Lewis - then admitted he hadn’t played well enough.
He said: “It’s surreal to be honest with you, it’s like I’m not even here. It’s like winning the lottery for me, I never expected to beat Gary Anderson, and the way Jamie was playing I thought I was going to be 4-0 down. He showed a lot of bottle there.
“I’m not going to practice, I’m just going to relax and get ready for the next day. Energy is all I need now. It’s hard, it really is.
“I’m still playing okay, but not good enough really – but I can play better.
“It’s going to be massive.”
