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.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
