Perfect time for final Power play from Phil Taylor

Phil Taylor is adamant now is the right time to retire from darts as he bids to end his glittering career with a 17th world title.

Last January the 57-year-old announced that the PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace, which kicks off tonight, would be his final competitive appearance.

Taylor is regarded as the greatest darts player of all time, earning over £7million (€7.9m) in prize money and winning more than 200 career titles.
