Heres a little info on Mason thats interesting.
Controversy

Mason's personal life has been under much scrutiny. Mason was convicted of assault and assault with intent to resist arrest in March 1990 and sentenced to 180 hours community service. This was followed by a three-month jail sentence suspended for 12 months for actual bodily harm and, in August 1993, by three years' probation for assault causing actual bodily harm.[citation needed]
[edit] Prison sentence

On 14 April 2003, Mason and two friends Mark and Simon Gibson, were found guilty of aggravated burglary with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.[4] The victim of the attack, Poole scaffolder Neal Harley, was left with a broken nose, scalp cuts, facial swelling and bruising. The attack, which was sparked by a Yorkshire terrier dog named Doris which Mark Gibson had bought for Harley's fiancee Jane Graham while they were having a relationship some years earlier and had been "hostile" towards her new boyfriends. On 3 April 2002, Ms Graham had agreed to care for the dog but later returned it as it behaved too aggressively. Prosecutor, Mark Worsley, said that because of this Mark Gibson decided to confront Mr Harley and turned up that night with a hammer and his accomplices, saying: "Come on boys, let's do him".[5] The Gibson brothers received five and six year sentences and Mason received a three-year sentence on 2 June 2003, but he served just over a year.
[edit] 2007 World Championship

Mason hit the headlines for criticising Phil Taylor in the newspapers before their last 16 match at the 2007 World Championship and allegedly swearing at him during the post-match handshake on-stage after Taylor beat him 4–0.[6] He did apologise to Taylor after the tournament ended,[7] but received a £750 fine and a four-month ban (suspended for 12 months) from the Darts Regulation Authority.[8]
[edit] Benefit fraud

In June 2010, he was given a community order at Newcastle Magistrates Court for benefit fraud charges after he admitted to not declaring £45,000 of winnings between 2006 and 2007 while claiming benefits.[9] He had been arrested whilst preparing to compete at the UK Open televised tournament.[10] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I remember watching that when it happened, Taylor was well angry about it

Me too, remember it vividly.

Remember reading about Mason's criminal activities and going on about Taylor Bentley or something, all blew up on stage and Taylor was quite rightly a little annoyed.

Great memories love the old vids, and how weird seeing Taylor throwing them old WC darts.

The most important part of Taylor's rant occurs from 7 min to 7.10 sec He really drops himself in it.
