Johnny Haines
SWINDON thrower Johnny 'The Punk' Haines was inducted into the Professional Darts Corporation's Nine-Dart Club at the organisation's annual awards dinner in London last night.
Haines, 50, was one of 12 players presented with a commemorative silver pin badge after his achievement at the Players Championship 10 event last year.
A further six players who landed a televised nine-darter - including 16-time world champion Phil 'The Power' Taylor were presented with a gold pin badge for achieving the same feat on television.
Haines dropped to 76 in the world rankings this month but finished inside the top 18 in the Order of Merit at Q School to earn a fresh two-year Tour card.
