'Wow'
DARTS fans were left in disbelief after they witnessed Martin Adams throw the "greatest dart in history".
While playing in the MODUS Super Series inPortsmouth, Adams was up against Chris Gilliland.
With the best of seven leg match poised at 3-2 in Gilliland's favour on his serve, Adams needed a big set of opening throws to tie up the score.
Wolfie proceeded to land a 20 and then a treble 20.
However, the 68-year-old's third throw at the oche certainly did not go to plan.
Adams' final dart slipped as he went to let fly and arced up and down before hitting the floor near the board.

Wright aims to defend title
Peter Wright is looking to make a successful defence of his Nordic Darts Masters title in Copenhagen this weekend.
Ahead of the event, Snakebite told PDC.tv: "I've got good memories of Copenhagen. To win the title last year was brilliant.
"I felt really good in New York last week, but I think I’ve just forgotten how to win.
"Over the last couple of months it feels like I’ve been punished for every mistake, but that’s just the way the game goes sometimes.
"Mentally I feel great. I believe I’ve still got the game to beat everybody. It’s just got to click - and if it clicks, then I’ll win!"
