THE FIRST EVER TELEVISED PERFECT 9 DART LEG
On the 13th October 1984 I did the first televised nine-dart game. It was a huge thing to do, no one else had ever achieved it and everyone remembers the first.
The prize for doing the perfect nine-dart game was also huge – £100,000 + £2000 for doing it on TV. I won the event as well and an additional prize for the highest outshot. In all I won a total of £115,000 that weekend.
It was many years before the nine-dart game was achieved again; Paul Lim being the second guy to do it. He won £50,000.
