On this day on October 13, 1984, John Lowe produced a moment of magic by hitting the first ever nine-dart finish in a TV tournament.
Lowe made history by hitting the nine-dart finish during the MFI Wold Matchplay against former World Champion, Keith Deller.
He hit his nine darter not the typical route though with two 180's, followed by treble 17, treble 18 and double 18. He received £102,000 from this achievement at a time where he was only a one-time World Champion.
He went onto win again in 1987 and 1993 and has gone on to receive a MBE for his services to darts and charity.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
