Preston midfielder Paul Gallagher showed his was as handy on the oche as the football pitch as he came out on top in a footballer special edition of the PDC's Darts At Home event.
Raising money for NHS Charities Together, Gallagher took on Leicester James Maddison, West Ham's Declan Rice and West Brom's Charlie Austin in a special event streamed on the PDC's YouTube channel.
Played in a special 301 format instead of the usual 501, former Scotland international Gallagher overcame Austin and Rice 2-0, either side of edging out Leicester midfielder Maddison 2-1.
Austin finished second after wins over Maddison and Rice, with the West Ham midfielder propping up the table after a clean sweep of defeats.
"I'm over the moon, it's all about finishing," said Gallagher, who averaged 75 and hit a 108 checkout in his opening win over Austin.
