‘The Power’ not ready to pull the plug

Phil Taylor has no plans to retire from darts after beating Michael van Gerwen in dramatic fashion to clinch his 16th world title on Tuesday.

The 52-year-old recovered from 2-0 and 4-2 down against the Dutchman to claim the inaugural Sid Waddell trophy in the final of Ladbrokes World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

Taylor’s high-quality 7-4 victory brought to a close a tournament that saw him both struggle with illness and become involved in ugly spat at the oche.
