Mervyn King's dedication, temperament, attitude and application to the game is possibly second only to Taylor. Add to that his self believe, is it a co-incidence that King is very much on the verge on establishing himself as the "official" #2?
Barney's head is gone (well barney is just gone generally) Wade can't make up his mind what he wants and is massively affected by the crowd, Jenkins seems to be the nearly man. King however, does not let anything get to him on that stage. He has an ego and his A game is now stuff of legendary ridicule. But he makes no excuses and seems to bounce back after a set back. He's on a great run of form at the moment, winning both Swindon Championships and un-beaten in the PL including a 7-7 draw against Taylor.
Another man to put into that bracket could be Simon Whitlock. Typical Aussie determination and extremely talented. Others are upcoming and they all seem to share a trait of professionalism and dedication (Osbourne, Nicholson)
You get what you deserve, put in the effort in an that (name your cliche) but with the money involved in the game now and more people taking up darts as a profession, is this the start of an era where 1 mans domination is at an end?
