    This has been posted before in the Sports section but now that we have a Dart forum I think that it should be posted here to allow fans to see the brilliance that was John Lowe throwing a perfect leg of Darts. It was the first time ever a perfect leg was completed in a televised match.

    Does anybody actually know how many players have achieved the feat of a perfect leg in a televised tournament. I know Phil Taylor has achieved this an amazing 3 times and that so far Paul Lim is the only player to ever manage it in a World Championships.

    Has anybody else managed to do it in a televised match?

    But in fairness its some feet though. To be exact with nine darts in a row. Don't know how to equate it in another sport. I'd say it eclipses a whole in one in golf, a 147 in snooker, etc.

    I believe Shaun Greatbatch did the first ever 9 darter that was televised live (on Dutch TV) in one of the BDO events in the Netherlands.

    Not sure of the year, but fairly certain it was after Lowe and Lim but before any of Taylor's.
    While both Lowe and Lim's feats were televised on the day of the event, they weren't screened live by BBC.

    Thats right I forgot about Greatbatch. He did it in 2002 in the "Dutch Open".
