Luke Littler. 16 years old. World Youth Champion in darts.
Made his senior Worlds debut at Ally Pally last night and thrashed Christian Kist (former Lakeside champion) 3-0.
Littler averaged 106, which is by far the highest average of the tournament so far. That is ridiculously high for a player of his age. It's also 23 points higher than Peter 'Krusty' Wright averaged in the next game, as he did the darting equivalent of necking two packets of Pro Plus, dropping his trousers and firing liquid shit up the walls.
Next match for Littler is against Andrew Gilding tonight. Win that and he should be up against Barney after Christmas.
Yep, he was amazing last night. Refuse to believe he's only 16. Looks about 30 and played like it too.
He was as good as anything I've seen on that stage over the years I've been watching it. A real natural talent on a par with the likes of Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen when they are in full flow, with the potential to be even better than those three (which is incredible to say about three people with 7 world titles between them, and numerous other titles)
