Dennis Priestley - Inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame in 2009
Dennis Priestley became the third player to be inducted into the PDC's Hall of Fame when he received his award in 2009.
The Yorkshireman was the first winner of the PDC World Championship in 1994, which saw him become a double World Champion following his success in the 1991 Embassy Championship.
He has since competed in four further World Championship finals, as well as reaching the final of the World Matchplay in the tournament's first three years from 1994-1996.
Priestley has also maintained his position inside the world's elite players for almost 20 years, and in 2008 defied treatment for prostate cancer to continue to challenge at the top level.
Whilst presenting the award, PDC Director Rod Harrington, formerly a rival of Priestley on the oche, praised his sportsmanship and integrity as well as the way he has conducted himself as an ambassador for darts in the past two decades.
After reaching his 60th birthday in July 2010, Priestley has scaled down his travels on the PDC circuit but remains a keen competitor when he is seen in action.
