Harry Robinson (born 27 December 1969) is an English former professional darts player who played in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) tournaments. He played rugby union before switching to darts.[citation needed]
Career
[edit]From Eden, Cumbria, Robinson started his sporting career playing rugby union, before switching to darts in 1990, reaching the final of the BDO German Open that year.[citation needed]
After switching to the PDC, he played in the 1997 World Matchplay, losing to Mick Manning in the first round. In the 1998 PDC World Darts Championship, he won Group 8. After losing to the American Steve Brown in his first match, he needed a big win against 3rd seed Alan Warriner to qualify for the quarter-finals. He won by 3–0, topping the group by set difference. He would go on to lose 4–1 to Keith Deller in the quarter-finals. The following year, in the 1999 PDC Championship, he beat Sean Downs in the first round and lost to Alan Warriner, in the last 16, by 2–3.[citation needed]
While he did not reach the finals of any major tournaments for several decades, Robinson won a PDC Tour Card at Q-School in 2016.[citation needed] He quit the PDC in 2020.
