Taylor: All those "Heaven 17" headlines will have to wait for another year. John Walton

Was Phil Taylor an appallingly bad loser or just a little bit thirsty?

Taylor was denied a 17th world title by Gary Anderson last night.

IT WAS THE crowning moment of Gary Anderson’s career — but for the defeated Phil Taylor, it was time for a glass of water.

‘The Flying Scotsman’ clinched his first PDC World Championship in a thriller at London’s Alexandra Palace on Sunday evening.

Anderson held his nerve in the 13th set of an epic final to check out double 12 and deny Taylor his 17th world title.

After saluting the crowd with a clenched fist, Anderson turned to shake hands only to find that the beaten Taylor had walked away to pour a glass of water.

He may have been a little bit thirsty but surely the right thing to do is to wait and shake the hand of the new world champion, not ignore him.

Then again, maybe this epic fail from earlier in the evening was still playing on Taylor’s mind.

Unlucky, son.
