Ever since America’s Larry Butler won the inaugural World Matchplay in 1994, the Winter Gardens in Blackpool has held a special place in the hearts of darts players and fans.

The tournament has witnessed five nine-darters since – from Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, John Part, Michael van Gerwen and Wes Newton – some stunning checkouts, epic victories and record-breaking triumphs.

We’ve picked 16 Magic Moments below, and will feature the top ten as voted for by PDC fans in our BetVictor World Matchplay programme when this year’s event is held from July 19-27 at the Winter Gardens.

We’ll also display the top ten here on the official PDC website during the BetVictor World Matchplay.

To place your vote, simply choose your favourite from the list below, which also include the wins for Larry Butler, Peter Evison and Rod Harrington – who became the first player to retain the title in 1998 and 1999 – as well as famous victories for Colin Lloyd, Terry Jenkins and James Wade, not to mention Phil Taylor’s record-breaking feats on the Winter Gardens stage.
