Relive the moment Colin Lloyd won the 2005 World Matchplay final against John Part with a 170 checkout

We continue our countdown to the World Matchplay by looking back at Colin Lloyd's superb 170 checkout in the 2005 final.

The World Matchplay starts this Saturday, live on Sky Sports, and we have picked our favourite five moments, with Lloyd's winning finish coming next in the list at No 4.

Lloyd entered the tournament as the world No 1 and would live up to his status, firing in 15 180s during the final against John Part.

The Essex man, nicknamed 'Jaws' pulled clear with his heavy scoring, although Part hauled back a handful of legs to prolong the match.

But Lloyd would seal his victory with the biggest possible finish, rattling through a 170 to spark wild scenes of celebration at the Winter Gardens.

It would be Lloyd's last title triumph in a major tournament and Phil Taylor would regain the trophy in 2006.
