Ando, 54, is set to return to the big stage this Saturday for his favorite tournament, the Grand Slam, which is one event he has yet to win in his illustrious career.
Ahead of the major event in Wolverhampton, ‘The Flying Scotsman’ shared his insights in a Q&A with Darts Corner.
When asked who he considers to be the best player in the world at present, he quickly replied with a grin: “That’s easy, you just look at the world No. 1.”
Regarding the best player in Europe outside the United Kingdom, he stated: “MVG (Michael van Gerwen).”
On the best player in North America, he admitted: “I have no idea.”
When prompted about whether it could be Jeff Smith, Matt Campbell, or Leonard Gates, he remarked: “Yeah, I’d probably go with Leonard.”
When asked who the best player without a Tour Card is, he immediately thought of his longtime friend and fellow Scot: “Hendo (John Henderson).”
Anderson then reflected on who the best player never to have been crowned world champion is, stating: “James Wade.”
Regarding the greatest young talents currently, the Scot took a moment to consider: “All the youngsters, I’m not sure who they are. Maybe Danny Noppert, Wessel Nijman. There are many of them; it’s hard to pick just one.”
Ando certainly didn’t hesitate when asked about the greatest of all time. He named the man he defeated to win his first world title at the Ally Pally: “(Phil) Taylor.”
Finally, he was asked about his favorite stage: “I love the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, which is no longer there, but that’s my favorite.”
