DARTS legend Phil Tylor revealed he would like to do match commentary after retirement.
Taylor, 64, is pencilled down as a commentator ahead of the World Seniors Darts Masters, which kick off on Friday and end on Saturday in Sunderland.
And the Power is very much looking forward to his new gig at the esteemed tournament.
So much so that the experienced thrower would be open to commentating on a regular basis after stepping away from the oche.
However, the Stone-on-Trent native would like to avoid being away from home “week in week out” like he used to be as a player.
Taylor said: “Some of the older players are coming to retirement age now and I think you’ll see an influx of a few more household names which will help the Seniors.
“I’m looking forward to it [commentating], depending on what games they give me!
“If they want younger people [in the future] that’s fine. I’m not too worried about it.
“But I wouldn’t want to be away from home week in week out like I used to be.
“With my experience I can sometimes tell what pressure they’re under and what they’re thinking at that particular time.

“Sometimes you can just tell they’re not going to hit the double.”
Taylor was originally supposed to play in the Seniors but had to pull out because of an injury.
And now the experienced thrower is focused on calling the action during this weekend’s competition.
Taylor added: “It’s great that darts is coming back to the North East. I love the North East. I’ve got some good friends up there and have family that live in Newcastle.
“The fans always turn out in their droves in the North East and they enjoy themselves and make it a good atmosphere.
“I just hope the players perform well enough for the people who are paying to watch!”
