Those 14 players risked everything for their right to make a living from darts. Every darts fan and every darts player currently making a good living in the PDC owes them a debt of gratitude.

you forget how bristow was the one who initially had the vision that darts could be a professional sport, and the balls to go out and make it happen.

Most of the world champions making the switch to the PDC were over the hill already and the bulk of the talent still remained in the BDO side until the early 2000's.

It should be noted that Mike Gregory never played in any PDC event. In the late 90's and early 00's some Opens counted for both the BDO and PDC ranking. For example the Swiss Open counted for both rankings in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Reason being to attract players from both organizations. However these were never PDC organised events. They only counted for their rankings.

@@stigisonthespectrumcheckhi1686 Rather than a true fall from grace, I'd say Shepherd making the final was a bit like when Millwall made the FA cup final; quite fortunate with a relatively favourable draw and other players underperformed/missed opportunities to win against him.
