VOTE: Phil Taylor’s best nine-dart finish

Phil Taylor has been back on the oche, playing old foe Raymond van Barneveld, Fallon Sherrock and women’s world champion Mikuru Suzuki – but as yet no more nine darters!

Taylor managed to beat Sherrock in a last-leg shoot-out on the soft-tip Nexus board, the pair raising more than £16,000 for charity following the third instalment of Darts from Home action.

On Thursday, it was The Queen of the Palace that came so close to a nine-darter, but Taylor has usually been the one dishing out the perfect leg.

Taylor revelled in creating history throughout his illustrious career and while Sherrock become a history maker herself at Alexandra Palace, we’ve taken a look back at the best of The Power’s many nine-darters.

The Power, who recently joined the Darts Show podcast for a special, has an unprecedented haul of major titles, including 16 world championships, and has also landed more televised nine-darters than any other player.

Starting with the first nine-darter in PDC history against Chris Mason at the 2002 World Matchplay, while he’s also the only player to land two nine-dart legs in a televised match – achieving that feat against James Wade in the 2010 Premier League final.

Incredibly, the 16-time world champion never produced the magical leg at the World Championship, missing double 12 for the nine-darter in his Alexandra Palace farewell against Rob Cross – his last competitive match as a PDC player.

The 59-year-old conjured up so many special moments, but which was the best one? We’ve compiled all of his perfect legs in front of the Sky Sports cameras, so take a look and cast your vote in the poll below!
