Among the Oche Dream Team was two-time champ Adrian Lewis, who admitted he was considering a comeback in 2024 after taking an extended break from darts for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

'Jackpot' Lewis has lived a charmed life at Ally Pally, including a break for gusts of wind across the stage when he trailed James Wade 5-1 in a semi-final 11 years ago and being stung by a wasp on his way to the title 12 months earlier.<\/p>\n

Compere Dan Dawson reminded him: \u201cYou nearly had a gun pulled on you by Royal protection officers when you kissed Prince Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200cWho's your favourite world champ of the last 30 years and why? Let us know in the comments section.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lewis laughed: \u201cI'd just got into my first final, I come off the stage, Prince Harry comes up to me, puts his arms round and, as people have seen loads of times, I kiss people.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this occasion it was Prince Harry. Then the shock hit me. Oh my God. I have just kissed Prince Harry, his security people were looking at me and I am thinking, \u2018Oh s***, here we go.\u2019 But there you go…\u201d<\/p>\n

A word to the wise, Jackpot: Don't tell Meghan.<\/p>\n

It was probably the best XI put together in London since Sir Alf Ramsey's boys of 1966 won the World Cup. And it's unlikely it will ever happen again.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence and influencers with the attention span of a gnat may be taking over the world \u2013 but they can't touch this lot with a bargepole.<\/p>\n

In the inaugural breakaway tournament at the Circus Tavern in 1994, Priestley and runner-up Phil Taylor shared their combined \u00a324,000 prize money even though Dennis the Menace won 6-1.<\/p>\n

The winner of this year's PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace will pocket \u00a3500,000 \u2013 and the day cannot be far off when the champion's payday hits \u00a31 million.\u200c<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just as he dominated the oche by winning 16 world titles, Taylor was not just front and centre stage at the PDC's Night with the Champions. At times, nobody else could get a word in edgeways.<\/p>\n

The 'Power' recalled how organisers were concerned by thin ticket sales for that first final in 1994, and he was asked to round up a coachload of regulars at his pub in Stoke-on-Trent, The Cricketers, and bus them down to Purfleet to make the crowd look busier.<\/p>\n

He teased Van Gerwen about his missed darts to knock Taylor out at Ally Pally as a teenager in 2008, and how MVG never beat him at the World Championship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Van Gerwen replied: \u201cYeah, but Phil has always been scared of me. He doesn\u2019t want to tell anyone. Every interview they ask him, 'What is your favourite meal?' Yeah, Michael, Michael, Michael. 'Phil, where did you go on holiday?' Yeah, Michael, Michael, Michael. Always.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeep inside his heart, he knows I was the one who made it really difficult for him in loads of games. I did it in loads of tournaments but never at the world championships and that is something I cannot do anymore. He\u2019s so lucky I wasn\u2019t born earlier!\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor, now 63, is retiring from all competitive darts next year \u201cunless prize money at the World Championship goes up to \u00a31 million \u2013 then I'll be back like a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he gave a revealing insight into the driven winner whose remarkable longevity at the top paves the way for today's players to become multi-millionaires like him.<\/p>\n

The Power said: \u201cI paid myself \u00a3200 a week wages so I was always skint, always on the breadline. I could have had \u00a31m, \u00a32m, \u00a33m in the bank, but a hungry lion will fight harder than a lion that hasn't eaten.<\/p>\n

\u200c\u201cYou have got to keep yourself hungry. I had 30 houses, I was worth millions, but in my opinion that basic wage was all I was worth.\u201d<\/p>\n
