“I would really like to get another celebration, particularly at Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson. I do miss that little bit of camaraderie. They say it’s very quiet, the practice room is lifeless and no one has any fun. The youngsters are currently standing there with iPods in their ears.
“Me Aidy (Lewis) used to have a perfect laugh.”
Taylor asserts the game is currently lacking personalities due to the sum of money involved in competitions with players getting more professional than ever before.
