High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Born to Margaret and Doug Taylor in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, he left school at the age of 16 and entered work at JF Sale and Co. in Burslem. His early working career consisted of him making ceramic toilet roll handles earning no more than Pds. 52 a week at the time. Between jobs there were spells of unemployment, but Taylor indulged in his favourite hobby darts. It was his playing in the pubs of Stoke-on-Trent that brought him to the attention of Eric Bristow, one of the most popular and well known figures in the game in the 1980s. Bristow decided to sponsor Phil to the tune of Pds. 10,000 on the condition that it had to be repaid. With this money Taylor could practise full-time and enter low-level tournaments. By 1990, he qualified to play in the World Championships for the first time and beat Russell Stewart, Dennis Hickling, Ronnie Sharp and Cliff Lazarenko on his way to the final. In the final he met his mentor Bristow and beat him 6 sets to 1 to claim the first of his world titles at odds of 125/1.
