  Raymond van Barneveld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raymond van Barneveld (born April 20, 1967 in The Hague, Netherlands), nickname Barney, is a professional darts player.
Later that night, van Barneveld took on 13-time World Champion Phil Taylor, in a match billed as "the greatest darts match in years." In a match where neither player was at his best, "The Power" took a 7-4 lead before van Barneveld blasted back to earn a 7-7 draw.
Van Barneveld eventually got to the semi-finals of the tournament (which were held on the 29th May 2006), but lost to the unfavoured Dutchman Rolan Scholten 11-3, who in turn went on to lose to Phil Taylor in the final 16-6.
