Steve Beaton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Beaton (born Coventry, England, 5th April 1964) is a darts player for the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). Beaton became a professional player in 1993. That year steve won the World Masters (BDO).

Nicknamed "The bronzed Adonis", or "Magnum-PI" (in clear reference to Tom Selleck), Steve is also affectionately known as "The Housewife's Choice" due to his 1970's appearance. Although he is not considered one of the best players on the circuit, Steve is one of the most consistent, regularly able to match the top players shot for shot. In 1996 he became the World Champion of the British Darts Organisation (BDO), but as yet he has not made such an impact for the PDC.

Beaton currently resides in Southam, Warwickshire, where he lives with his wife Nanette. He is a fully qualified driving instructor and works on this part time job when he is not competing on the darts circuit.

After a poor 2005 steve sliped down the ranking, resulting in him having to qualify for the PDC majors.
