John Lowe MBE

With a playing career spanning well over 40 years, John Lowe is a wonderful darts player and for many years was the best player in the world.

Very much the gentleman of the game, John enjoyed a longstanding rivalry with Eric Bristow, meeting him six times in various semi-finals and finals of major competitions. It wasn’t until his fourth meeting with Bristow that he was victorious, winning the 1987 World Darts Championships.

Lowe achieved the snooker equivalent of Golf’s hole-in-one or a 147 break in snooker, when he scored the first televised nine-dart finish.
