Cross brings curtain down on Taylor's career
Debutant Rob Cross stunned 16-time world champion Phil Taylor in the World Championship final on Monday.
Taylor had been aiming for a 17th world crown before retiring after the championships but Englishman Cross, 30 years his junior, beat him 7-2 at Alexandra Palace.
It capped a remarkable rise to prominence for Cross, who only turned professional early in 2017.
Taylor, 57, won 10 legs and had twelve 180s in the match, one more than Cross.
At the end, Taylor embraced his young conqueror and held up a sign saying "Thank you, thank you" to the crowd.
