With the BDO World Darts Championship not taking place this year due to the demise of the organisation, DartsNews continues to look at the best moments and matches that shaped darting history from this tournament.
The latest is one of the greatest moments in darting history with Paul Lim hitting the first World Championship nine-dart finish thirty years ago today.
He was facing off against Jack McKenna in the second round and pinned the perfect leg which went down in history.
This came after the first TV nine-darter in 1984 hit by John Lowe. Lim nearly achieved the feat again at the 2018 World Championship in an extraordinary moment and continues to thrill crowds today by qualifying for the PDC World Darts Championship year on year.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
