As a sports fan I'm always fascinated by sporting excellence (Federer winning the US Open) and sporting genius (Greatest Sport Stars of All Time), not least when the two come together. It is in this spirit that I want to introduce my majority non-British readership to the greatest darts player that ever lived, Phil "The Power" Taylor. He is the 13 time world champion from England.
Here is a video of Phil scoring one of his six live "nine darters" (the only player ever to have scored more than one on TV). For the uninitiated, a nine darter is the perfect score in darts, much like a 300 point game in bowling, a 147 break in snooker or hitting six sixes in an over in cricket. It is the absolute best a player can do, score 501 in 9 darts. Enjoy!
(oh, if you don't understand the commentators' Scottish accents, its probably because they are speaking Dutch!).
