MARK DUDBRIDGE

Mark Dudbridge, born on 11 January 1973 in Bristol, England, is a long-serving professional nicknamed “Flash” after the Queen track that serves as his walk-on music. Dudbridge began competing in 1985 and has built a career spanning both the BDO and PDC eras, accumulating three titles and three nine-dart finishes — a record that underlines the quality he has brought to the oche throughout his career.

His three nine-dart finishes are a particular mark of distinction, achieved across a career that predates the modern PDC era and extends through its growth into a major global sport. The BDO-to-PDC transition that shaped the careers of many of his generation required adaptation, and Dudbridge navigated that evolution while maintaining a competitive presence and adding to his title count. Bristol’s darts heritage provided a strong foundation for his development.

Dudbridge’s career is characterised by longevity and the consistent delivery of quality over four decades. His three perfect legs and three titles make him one of Bristol’s most accomplished professional darts exports and a respected figure in the sport’s long history.
