Take a look back at the build up to when Phil Taylor faced Andy Fordham 11 years ago in the Grand Slam of Darts

Phil Taylor famously faced Andy Fordham 11 years ago and they could meet again at the Grand Slam of Darts, live on Sky Sports.

There was plenty of pre-match hype when Taylor, the PDC's reigning world champion, took on BDO world title winner Fordham in 'The Showdown' at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet.

Fordham was unfortunately forced to withdraw due to health problems while trailing 5-2, but the pair could renew their rivalry at upcoming tournament in Wolverhampton, starting on Saturday November 7.

Watch day one of the Grand Slam of Darts on Sunday November 7, starting at 1pm on Sky Sports 2.
