John Lowe was involved in one of the most historic moments in darting history on October 13, 1984 by becoming the first darts player to ever throw a nine-dart at a television tournament.
The darting legend made history by finishing a leg within nine darts during the MFI World Matchplay. Former world champion Keith Deller was his opponent at the time. Lowe remarkably threw his nine-darter via two 180's, followed by treble 17, treble 18 and double 18.
The three-time world champion (1979, 1987 and 1993) earned £ 102,000 from this achievement. In 2018 he received an MBE for his services to darts and charity.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- 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
