Summary at a Glance

MICHAEL van Gerwen suffered in one of darts' biggest ever upsets after losing to an Irish care worker in front of a home crowd.

Michael Flynn 32, defied the odds to beat the three-time world champion 6-5 in Monday's first round of the third Players Championship.

Van Gerwen appeared in his first Players Championship tournament of the year at the Autotron Centre in Rosmalen.

Flynn was beaten 6-4 by Poland's Tytus Kanik in the next round but was proud to get past the PDC world championship finalist.

That means Raymond van Barneveld, for example, is only listed once - Barney also won four BDO titles - and none of Eric Bristow's five BDO titles are included.
