Title: Sir Phillip Taylor
Post by: kenkay on January 02, 2013, 02:03:34 AM

What a fantastic performance by Phil tonight to win his sixteenth World Championship against all the odds. He might have a bit of a beer belly and a few tattoos but if we can have Sir Bradley then why not Sir Phil  ;D

Well, if it's a genuine answer you want Ken...

Taylor was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2001 New Year honours, but it was retracted and annulled in May 2002 following a conviction for indecent assault.The incident happened after a 1999 exhibition match in Scotland when two women, aged 23 and 25, accompanied Taylor back to his van after the event. They later accused him of sexual assault. Taylor denied the charges but he was found guilty in 2001 and fined £2,000.
