A total of 36 times in an official darts game on television there was a nine-darter. In nine of these 36 cases was the same referee on the stage. His name? Bruce Spendley.
Like many officials in the darts Spendley made its debut at the former Embassy – the current BDO World Championship darts. That was in 1982. Since that time, he was almost continuously one of the mastercallers in all major tournaments of the BDO. That went on until 1993. The year Spendley – along with his colleague Freddie Williams switched to the PDC, then and now the main competitor of the BDO
.
Most of the performance, so you may want to throw a nine-darter as well, is the name of a man: Phil Taylor. Yet there are also some other toppers that memorable nine-darters have thrown.
So our Raymond van Barneveld the first participant in the Premier League of Darts that a 9-darter produced. That happened on March 23, 2006 in a match against Peter Manley, of course, led by Bruce Spendley.
The first left-handed darts player who ever managed to produce a 9-darter James Wade was at the Grand Slam of Darts on November 20, 2008. And when Bruce Spendley stood as an arbitrator on the podium.
After the PDC World Championship 2012 – a nine-darter Dean Winstanley – was the last of the great Bruce Spendley with the calling of 9-darters
.
The second half of the PDC World Championship final in 2013 between Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen was the last official match of Bruce Spendley. After this he joined the PDC Hall of Fame and is retired after a career of more than 30 years.
