The list is in chronological order and will be split across three videos on YouTube!

That match winning 9-darter from Borland was unreal 😮‍💨

[jesse]

Always triggers me to see van gerwen miss the 3 darts at double when 6-0 up on smith with like a 135 average💔

[dannyrussano]

I get chills every time I watch the almost 9 darter from Lim. I hope the D12 goes in every time I watch it.

[chrisb]

I’d agree with most of the list ESPECIALLY because it’s chronological. The Borland match was insane.

[jonhoward]

Aspinall 170 check out to win 2019 UK open plus Simon Whitlock's brilliant comeback against Jamie Caven (finishing on 146). Also, Whitlocks 150 (3 bull) finish to win a match was something I thought I'd never see.

[LOLMAN]

Smith and MVG's legendary leg at the 2023 World Final blows all of these moments out of the water

[allotmental.]

Cross beating Taylor, a passing of the belly 😂

[johnny_goat]

Also if u like Price, you have to say that his behaviour against Gary wasn't okay. He was screaming into Garys face and talking to him while throwing darts. He is a nice guys now but this match should have been counted as a win for Gary.

[RebelCityEejit]

Price wonders why the crowd gets on his back: I think it's literally because of that final. Screaming for 96 scored, yelling in Gary's face and giving him a wee shove. Was never going to go down well

I think he's gotten a lot better about it these days in fairness to him

[janegray]

Fallon beating evetts was a stand out for our family. All watched it and our darts mad son went on to win a signed copy framed scoresheet of the match.

[poker_dealer]

The timing of that ad during Paul Lim’s last turn is brutal

[AlfredoD]

Can't wait to see every leg of this Year's finals make it

[jurgenportelli]

Time to do another one. The greatest leg of darts ever. Tuesday 3rd January 2023 Set 2 Leg 3 Smith vs MVG

[Edgartvdarts]

Taylor 9 darter at the Matchplay vs Mason m for me would take number 1 if this had to be selected on order of fav moment

[Holy]

That borland Checkout will never be old

[Metallniete]

I kinda miss the 170 checkout by Anderson after the eight ferfect darts by MvG (I think it was in the premier league).
But I know that if you restrict xourself on 30 Moments, not everything can be included.

[longlost]

although Sherrock's win against Ted was a major first, I kinda feel that her reaching the finals against MVG a few months later was as significant if not more

[jimmychimpus]

Here's a list from someone who actually cares about the darts instead of just going off a list of things that seem significant in retrospect and shilling for the political sensitivities of Sky Sports. It's not perfect or exhaustive by any means, but it's better than what we got here.

In no particular order:
1) Taylor/RVB 2007 world final deciding leg
2) Taylor/Painter 2004 world final deciding leg (travesty that this wasn't included)
3) Taylor/Part 2003 world final last leg
4) Colin Lloyd 170 to win matchplay
5) Hamilton comeback vs Whitlock 2011 matchplay
6) Wade comeback vs King 2014 Masters
7) Wade/Thornton grand prix 2014
8) Dolan 9-darter grand prix 2011
9) Winstanley 9-darter and running off the stage WC 2013
10) MVG 17 perfect darts WC 2013
11) MVG 9-darter sandwiched between two 170s UK open 2016
12) Terry Jenkins and Kyle Anderson 9-darters in consecutive matches WC 2014
13) Dudbridge/Andy Jenkins grand prix deciding leg (? year)
14) Premier League 2018 night 9 when Bristow was announced dead and the crowd sang through the entire Wright/Gurney match in tribute
15) Cross/MVG deciding leg AND Cross beating Taylor in joint entry WC 2018
16) RVB's 9-darters at consecutive world championships 2011/12 as joint entry
17) Price's two 9's in one night
18) Taylor's two 9's in one match
19) Borland's 9
20) Murnan thinking he'd beating Hamilton and going for a handshake then realising he needed another leg (which to his credit he also won)
21) Bristow/Taylor WC semi
22) Price 160 to beat White in deciding leg at 2017 UK Open which basically kickstarted his rise
23) 2013 PL final
24) 2017 PL final
25) Wright finally beating MVG in 2020 WC final
26) Parry beating MVG at world series
27) Taylor's 16th world title 2013
28) Lewis's blind 180 vs Manley and all the needle between them throughout the match
29) 2012 world cup final
30) RVB praising Bunting after their 2015 WC match and saying he should be in the PL

[martine.]

I would have added the Anderson Suljovic final in the matchplay.

#0 _ The PDC pushes Fallon before she's ready and she loses every match in the World Series in 2022. Fallon is pretty good. But she needs to be allowed to develop without maximum pressure all the time.
