Peter David Manley (born 7 March 1962 in Cheam, London Borough of Sutton) is a former professional darts player who used to play in the Professional Darts Corporation. He was named One Dart by commentator Tony Green after hitting the winning double on numerous occasions with his first dart during his first televised appearance at the 1995 Unipart European Masters, where he eventually lost in the final to Mike Gregory. The nickname subsequently proved to be a heavy burden for Manley who despite a confident, outspoken persona only managed one major win - the 2003 Las Vegas Desert Classic - during his professional darts career. ==Darting career== Manley's controversial personality rather than the quality of his darts was often the most notable part of his career and continued poor form resulted in him failing to secure a PDC tour card in 2012. Manley lost several major sponsors including darts manufacturer Unicorn as a result. Manley is perhaps most famous for his long-running feud with Phil Taylor resulting from his refusal to shake Taylor's hand after losing 7-0 to him in the 2002 PDC World Darts Championship final. He has finished runner-up to Taylor in two other World Championships - losing 6-2 in 1999 and 7-0 in 2006. His biggest tournament win was 2003 Las Vegas Desert Classic when he beat John Part 16-12 in the final. He is also the chairman of the Professional Dart Players Association,〔(Peter Manley - Team Unicorn ) from Unicorn, retrieved 19 February 2009〕 a position he has held for six years.〔(PDPA Board Members ) from the PDPA, retrieved 22 February 2009〕 Manley attempted getting a PDC Tour card in the Q-School in 2012, 2013 and 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Manley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
