Storey from the Daily RecordA BLIND boy has realised his dream of playing darts with 13 times world champion Phil Taylor.
Brave Liam Doran, 11, is battling a rare cancer but has refused to give up his favourite sport.
Last night, he said meeting his hero Taylor was the best moment of his life.
Liam, of Glasgow, said: "It is not every day you get to meet a legend."
Taylor made time for Liam before playing in the 2007 Holsten Premier League Darts competition in Glasgow after hearing of his cancer battle.
He said: "What Liam does is fantastic. It's unbelievable how he has refused to give up darts."
Liam was diagnosed at the age of eight with rhab-domyosarcoma and has a tumour at the base of his head.
Extensive radiotherapy damaged nerves in his eyes and led to him losinghis sight.
Doctors have told him his cancer is inoperable.
But his proud mum Liz, 35, said her son would not let his illness, which affects five kids in Scotland a year, stop him playing darts.
She said: "He has been amazing. He point blank refuses to let it change his life."
