16-time world champion Phil Taylor hit the rare shot back in 1993 against Jocky Wilson.
'The Power' holds a series of impressive records, including the most televised nine-dart finishes with 11 and the first player to produce two nine-darters in the same match.But the 64-year-old also produced an uncommon 240 shot back in 1993, when competing in the UK Matchplay.
240 was made possible because at the time, games were being played on a 'Quadro' board - which had been brought in by Harrows Darts Technology the previous year.The board featured an an extra ring between the double ring and the outer bull, which meant you could get quadruples as well as trebles. The announcer screamed "240!" as they do these days when 180s are scored. Taylor's effort is believed to be the second 240 hit captured on camera, with Wilson, Shayne Burgess, Bob Anderson and Peter Evison also later matching the achievement during the event.Referees and callers also had great difficulty in having to quickly work out the scores.
