Classic Arrows - Martin Adams v Phil Nixon

Phil Nixon, the bookmakers' 150-1 outsider, gives Martin Adams one of the all-time great scares in the 2007 BDO World Darts final.

[@Nathan_Virica_Comedy]

I remember being absolutely gripped by this match. One of the most entertaining sporting contests I've ever seen. RIP Phill Nixon and thank you.

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

The man they call Nixy.Thanks for the memories pal RIP

[@c4dag]

Best final ever in my opinion. Phil did Co Durham proud that night. RIP

[@kevinprior3549]

One of many great dart players from NE.... Nixy (god rest his soul), Nicholson, Robson, Wood, Richardson, Osborne (I think), Durrant

[@davidlgoldswain598]

I was there that night ! We were all sorting out our early taxis home ! Phill Nixon made it one of the very best Embassy finals and won the hearts of millions. RIP Nixy. Wolfie proved his position as number one over the next few years too !

[@scottfletcherr1457]

Martin Adams has never been the no 1 dart player in the world. Nowhere near the likes of Phil Taylor.

[@lukejfmccann]

RIP Phil and Martin Fitzmaurice..!!

[@LiamK2292]

It has declined an awful lot since.

[@MadBoy8734]

My favourite final. R.I.P. Phil Nixon.

[@SA-rf8zk]

Watched this in hospital with my Granda. RIP

[@davidowenwinter3111]

laughed at martin adams wife she was showing off dancing when martin 6 0 up but when nixy made it 6 6 she ran out crying the ol slag

[@billybollox5216]

The ol slag cheated on martin with the local headmaster

[@irishcountryman4866]

@@billybollox5216 really?

[@dooronron69]

best game I've ever watched, got it on dvd and watched it a few times, good video.

[@irishcountryman4866]

great comeback. i read that nixy stabbed himself in the leg with his darts at the break to motivate himself

[@MCTachyon]

RIP Phil Nixon. Inspiring run to the 2007 final.. And a classic final to boot as well. Arras has lost a gentleman.

[@kevinprior3549]

RIP Nixy.... what a comeback he made. So close to winning it

[@michaelhoughton1203]

R.I.P phil nixon :)

[@heavyduty96]

This was as good as any PDC final tbh, the atmosphere!

[@scottfletcherr1457]

Standard nowhere near. Close game but some awful darts for a world final.

[@jbrodie28]

[@stephengiles8326]

Awesome game this was

[@MrGurlyboy]

It got me into watching the darts too, I was 22 at the time.

[@kevinprior3549]

I think Adams one of the best walk on tunes ever. Hope swallow his stubborn pride and join PDC so we can continue hearing Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran.

[@jameswarrillow7104]

Wolfies Mrs getting all emotional when she saw the new kitchen from Magnet starting to slip away

[@2carstommy]

RIP Phil Nixon.

[@robbo3166]

If you mean the opening song to the video, it's Dexy's Midnight Runners - Jackie Wilson Said; On TOTP in the 80's the graphic guys made a mistake and put up a picture of the late, great, Jocky Wilson, who was a world champion himself.

[@ruslanapas]

al the pdc players started at the bdo ...except a few players like adams .........so no wonder the pdc is a much higher level ......barney anderson ,withlock , king , winstanley , van gerwen , vd voort , hankey ,taylor were all bdo players ...shall i continue ????

[@elixyr83]

Shit venue? Are you actually for real? The Lakeside is THE home of darts. That is all.

[@jonnyross2697]

Blackpool for the World Matchplay without a shadow of a doubt

[@OTBAW]

These guys would get destroyed at the pdc! i guess bdo is the championshim and pdc is the premiership.
