A HUGELY popular figure in the sport's modern era, Steve has enjoyed over two decades at the top level during a stellar career.
The 1993 World Masters winner and 1996 Lakeside Champion, Beaton joined the PDC circuit in 2001, reaching the World Matchplay semi-finals and winning his first PDC ranking title in the same year.
Runs to the UK Open and World Grand Prix semi-finals followed in 2004, while he was also the European Championship runner-up in 2009 and the winner of a Players Championship in the Netherlands.
Beaton enjoyed a memorable run to the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts semi-finals and won a European Tour title in Germany in 2013.
The fans' favourite made the final of the 2014 Gibraltar Darts Trophy and rolled back the years to reach the quarter-finals of the 2016 World Matchplay.
In 2017 Beaton won a Players Championship event in June, came runner-up in the Dutch Darts Masters and made the quarter-finals of the Players Championship Finals.
