THROWBACK VIDEO: Lim hits first ever World Championship nine-dart finish
PDCFriday, 27 March 2020 at 18:08
With darts off our screens for the foreseeable future, DartsNews continues to take a look back at moments which shaped darting history and the next one involves a certain legendary Paul Lim.
Despite the evergreen Lim achieving lots of scalps and shocks in the past few years; as he has shown age is no barrier, it is his exploits at the 1990 BDO World Championship which stands out mostly.
'The Singapore Slinger' was facing off against Jack McKenna in the second round; he pinned a magical nine-dart finish which went into the history books as the first one at a World Championship.
It was that sought after that he claimed a bonus prize of £52,000; which was more than Phil Taylor got for winning the event.
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 as he continues to qualify year after year gracing the Alexandra Palace stage competing with the best.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
