John Lowe was booked by my dad for an fund raising evening , playing local players drawn in a raffle, at the local community centre. He arrived.. then asked … where is the dart board? My dad assumed he would bring 😂😂 .. Dad came home in a panic and took my paper wound board from the garage. When I looked the next morning the area around the treble 20 looked like a wasps nest after a jetwash . Pulp
He was shit average back in the day, he stayed when they all left because he had a better chance winning BDO. Look at his record when all the good players were still in BDO.
@@kanifuker721 Yep - he was an also ran at Lakeside in the 90s and 2000s. It's pretty convenient when the guy who always beats you (Barney) leaves to play in a different tournament.
@@junglejamesie It was actually the same year as this - 2001 - along with Tony Green & John Part - a little weird considering Taylor had thrashed Part 7-0 in the PDC World final a few days before.
This was one hell of a game!! Yeah Adams played in three seperate PDC tournaments around this period, 2000 + 2001 World Matchplay and this one later that year. Afterwards he came back yeah to the two recent Grand Slam tournaments in 2015 and 2016. He was a joy to watch tbh in the Grand Slam, played some great darts.
Eligibility rules were different then, there were a few other BDO players played in some of these tournaments. When it was made compulsory to be a member of the PDPA to play in PDC tournaments it ruled out BDO players from participating unless they switched full time.
+Chris Clark ....Hilarious, so you wouldn't rate Van Gerwen even though he's won everything and even threw a televised 9 darter aged 17 against Barney?. Youngest player ever to win the PDC.

John Lowe had the most buttery smooth throw ever, legend.
Lowe my favourite player in darts!
Back to the day i saw this match in full length on TH-cam. But i can't find it again.
I'm gutted too, loved to watch that
great crowd martin adams is a real gentleman respect all round
martin should've joined the pdc
wasted his talent at the bdo
Athelstan Edwardson apparently he nearly went to q school this year
Could say that about Tony O'Shea and a few others
@@tonymontana1179 Yes but His Best Years are over now......He should have done this Switch to the PDC when he was in his 30s......

Great Lowe stuff!! Awesome man :)
Superb!!!!
My good buddy eric,Eric, was always ter for me ,Eric even chalked games for me,a vice versa,rest in peace mate
Phil Taylor on commentary, not something that happened very often!
Taylor did co-commentary at the BDO World Championship one year, I think it was Barney v Fordham.

John Lowe the master.
hold on, Adams played in the PDC world grand prix darts?? has he not always been BDO??
the rules were different back then, but they have changed them now
Okay, never knew that. Wow, interesting. They're actually broadcasting a PDC even on BBC in the coming months, never thought I'd see that.

Two BDO legends
Phil is a GOOD commentator!
Kani Fuker u got a dictionary bro. If so look up sarcasm.
Better player and oatcake eater
Is Martin using different darts? If you look at his darts they are fatter and he has black canes and not red,
Why did Adams play in the Matchplay and in the Gran Prix in 2001 and all other tournaments at the BDO?
he was testing the waters in the PDC and was expected to switch fully but he bottled it when he realised he would be a small fish in a big pond.

@@highjim7778 "bottled it" 🤣🤣🤣 truer word's were never spoken
Old John Lowe looks like Ted Barney there Lol.
Lowe Bristow Wilson and Rees possible the best for
no way is Lowe my fav player, Jocky and Eric are above him by miles.....but you to say he has the best throw
is that Phil Taylor doing the play by play
Yes.
Taylor got everything wrong
totally agree
Thats Phil Taylor id hesitate to call him an idiot when it comes to darts :)
Phil Taylor Eric bristow Barney Lowe jockey Wilson top 5 of all time

I rate mvg but forget other tournaments it’s the worlds what matter and 9 darters Phil Taylor the king
Jocky Wilson had 2 world titles! MvG has 2 as well!
Phil Taylor was biased as hell towards lowey
that board looks horrible ... lol
