Phil 'The Power' Taylor: I'd love to play Jesus at darts

Taylor, who previously listed his toughest opponent as Dennis 'The Menace' Priestley, remarked: 'I’d love to meet Jesus. I’d go back to those days. I’d be in awe.'

When asked if he would cross arrows with Jesus, Taylor chirped: 'Yeah, if possible.'

However, the all-conquering, 13-time world champion played down his chances of victory, saying his money was on the man who turned water into wine.

Dart-obsessed Taylor also told talkSPORT magazine that he plays the game during his sleep.

'The time I dream about darts is when I’m having a ten minute power nap on the settee,' he said.

'But my arm goes. I might be in my sleep and I play the shot and it wakes me up,' the 48-year-old said.
