Two of the top darts players of all time are undoubtedly Raymond van Barneveld and Michael Smith.
The Bully Boy was given the unfortunate tag of being arguably the best player the world has ever seen to not win the World Championship, however he put that right when he finally won it all in 2023.
The Dutchman trumps him in this category with five world titles, winning at the first attempt after his move over to the PDC in 2007.

Both have heavily featured in the Premier League during their careers, with Van Barneveld winning it back in 2014.
Smith is yet to achieve victory in the competition, losing in the final back in 2018 to Michael van Gerwen.
The Englishman looks as if he may miss out on the upcoming play-off portion of the latest rendition of the Premier League, after recent form from Nathan Aspinall has seen him fly up the table.
Former darts referee Jack Langston completed a TikTok trend where he ranked a number of the top darts players from history, and both Smith and Van Barneveld came up early on in his selections.
He selected the Dutchman over the current world number three, with them picking up the three and four positions.
They both only ranked behind James Wade and Luke Littler, with the current favourite for the Premier League being the number one ranked player.
The Dutchman is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence after his most recent comeback from retirement, going on a nice run in the 2024 World Championships before losing to Littler.
With him surely only having a few years at most left in the game, it remains to be seen if he can have one last run that takes him close to adding another major title to his ranks.
