The ten-times world darts champion, the king of the oche, and a legend in the game. Largely responsible for taking darts into the 21st century, eschewing drink and advocating fitness to improve performance, Taylor covers around 500,000 miles a year competing across Britain, and in countries as far apart as the USA and China.

The text chronicles Taylor's transition from a local competitor to a global icon, detailing his rigorous approach to training and his commitment to professionalizing a game previously associated with pub culture. By examining his daily discipline and the logistical demands of international competition, the authors present a portrait of a sportsman who redefined the standards of his field.
