THROWBACK VIDEO: Highlights from 1998 World Matchplay Final between Harrington and Baxter

As the World Matchplay edges closer with the draw and schedule being confirmed for the showpiece event which takes place in Blackpool from next weekend, we take a look at another classic tie.

This time it is Rod Harrington and Ronnie Baxter who faced off in the 1998 World Matchplay final in a brilliant display from the pair. Baxter took a 17-14 lead in the contest in the early going but despite going one away he was pegged back.

He got a match dart but squandered it allowing Harrington to go to parity at 17-17. This meant the match was extended with the player having to win by two.

'The Prince of Style' though hit a brilliant 125 finish hitting treble 15 and two double 20's. Following that he pinned double five for a memorable win over the Rocket.
