Terry Jenkins has proven time and time again he has the class to go deep into majors, but his failure to win one will always be held against him until he takes the final step.

Of course, not doing so is no disgrace given the dominance with which Phil Taylor has ruled the darting world down the years - and Jenkins' record is one that several more highly-regarded players can only dream of.

'The Bull' has been a major finalist no fewer than seven times in his career but 2011 has certainly not been a year to remember for him with his semi-final appearance at the World Championship his best effort by a distance.

First-round exits at the Matchplay and Grand Prix were the lowlights, while he finished seventh in the Premier League and eighth when he entered the Championship League.

When compared to the likes of Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Adrian Lewis, James Wade and John Part, Jenkins remains 'the bridesmaid' on the biggest days but the former antiques dealer will never stop dreaming.
