Shayne Burgess (born 1 June 1964) is an English former professional darts player who competed in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) tournaments. He is known for his unorthodox throwing action, where he draws the point of the dart up close to his eyeball before releasing.
Career
=Early career=
Burgess reached the quarter-finals of the British Open in 1992 and the quarter-finals of the Winmau World Masters in 1993. Burgess switched to the PDC (then known as the WDC), and reached the semi-finals of the 1994 World Matchplay in his first televised event in the WDC.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}
=Peak years=
He reached the semi-finals of the 1999 PDC World Championship, when he lost a 4–5 in to Peter Manley, and the quarter-finals of the 2000 PDC World Championship. Burgess also finished as runner-up in both the 1999 and 2000 World Grand Prixs, losing to Phil Taylor in both finals.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}
Aside from achieving a 9-dart finish at the Eastbourne Pro event in February 2001, Burgess' form declined for a couple of years after his 1998–2000 peak. However, Burgess then suddenly reached the final of the inaugural UK Open in 2003, again losing to Taylor.{{cite web|url=http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/1mv1wybhtlmg71gn7ni73a5rws/title/burgess-among-uk-open-qualifiers|title=Burgess Among UK Open Qualifiers|date=22 April 2012|publisher=Professional Darts Corporation|accessdate=18 December 2012}}
=Career after the PDC=
In 2008, after years of a big decline in his form, Burgess left the PDC circuit. In 2011, Burgess was playing on the BDO circuit, and he hit the second 9-dart finish of his career in September 2012, during a Sussex Super League game.{{cite news|url=http://www.bexhillobserver.net/sport/other-sports/brilliant-burgess-hits-nine-darter-1-4252499|title=Brilliant Burgess hits nine darter|date=12 September 2012|work=Bexhill Observer|accessdate=10 January 2015}} Burgess continues to play for the Hastings team of the Sussex Superleague's East Division, along with fellow former PDC player Adrian Gray.{{cite web |title=Hastings Averages to 30-09-2015 |url=http://sussexdarts.com/index.php/superleague/east-division/east-teams/hastings |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151006022352/http://sussexdarts.com/index.php/superleague/east-division/east-teams/hastings |archive-date=2015-10-06 |url-status=dead}}
