THROWBACK VIDEO: Beaton hits nine-dart finish at 2019 German Darts Open

Because of the coronavirus pandemic there won't be darts on television or the PDC Pro Tour in the next few weeks. As a result DartsNews will look into the history books and look back on historic, remarkable and funny moments in the history of darts.
This time a throwback to a brilliant leg of Steve Beaton, who celebrates his 56th birthday on Sunday. The Bronzed Adonis hit a nine-dart finish last year during the German Darts Open.
The former World Champion became the oldest player in the PDC to hit a perfect leg during a televised or streamed event. Phil Taylor held the old record as he was 55 years and nine days old when he hit a nine-darter during the 2015 Sydney Darts Masters. Beaton was only twelve days older last year when he produced the leg within nine darts.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.

If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
