The Case for Each
Gary Anderson brings the heavier trophy cabinet: 9 documented honours against 7 for Michael van Gerwen. Silverware is not the whole story, but it is the first line of any darts argument.

Gary Anderson is the senior figure by roughly 19 years, which frames the comparison: one career is closer to its final shape, the other still has chapters to write.
