Luke 'the Nuke' Littler - 16yo darts prodigy

[Duncan2]

Thread deteriorating into discussion of middle class tennis players forgetting the working class dart throwing genius.. Urban losing its way following festivities?

Convinced there is something in this.Fred Dibnah could probably have climbed Mont Blanc no trouble at all but- too busy earning a crust

I don't really follow darts, but this story has been quite interesting and tuned in tonight. He's made it to the semis at the age of 16 with many people on the news/social sites questioning his age. Have you ever met a 16yo who looks like this?

He's absolutely nailing it. I wish I'd had a mate who looked like that when I was 16 to get booze for me, the guy does look 35

If you were living the darts lifestyle since age 5 you would look like that at 16.

[Numbers]

Go uke. Must be an amazing atmosphere there .

The 16-year-old is three sets from the World Championship final

 

[steveo87]

. Probably make a great surgeon in another world..

My thoughts were 'I bet he'd be fucking amazing at FIFA'....


Different minds and all that.

 

[Elpenor]

If anyone is missing the darts experience as they haven’t got sky here’s a reminder

 

[Petcha]

The crowd really dont even watch it do they Carnage.

 

[Numbers]

Absolutely incredible stuff from the young man, Rob Cross is no mug, averaging 100+and getting slaughtered.

The superlatives on BBC commentary

 

[Petcha]

The Sky commentator just compared him to Usain Bolt

 

[tommers]

Boom. Unbelievable stuff.

 

[two sheds]

Incredible achievement - even if he doesn't win just to get to the Final

 

[hash tag]

Well done that lad.
I hope he has a good team behind him to support him.

 

[Numbers]

Absolutely incredible. Well done 'The Nuke'.

 

[tommers]

The Sky commentator just compared him to Usain Bolt

When he was 16 Bolt was competing in junior championships.

He was 6' 5" though so I guess he also had loads of people going "no way he's 16“.

 

[Sue]

When he was 16 Bolt was competing in junior championships.

I reckon Bolt could still take him at 100m though.

 

[tommers]

I reckon Bolt could still take him at 100m though.

What about darts?

 

[Flavour]

he's through to the final!

 

[Numbers]

The bull, bull, double 16 finish was something else.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

The bull, bull, double 16 finish was something else.

was even more impressive on the BBC text commentary

 

[Petcha]

His post match interview:

'How are you going to prepare for tomorrrow's final?'

'A ham and cheese omelette in the morning and then a pizza before the match'

 

[AverageJoe]

But can he put a Rowntrees Fruit Pastille in his mouth without chewing it?

 

[Steel Icarus]

I hereby formally copyright "Rule Hand Luke" for when he wins. Fuck you, red tops

Hopefully, he will receive all the assistance that he needs in dealing with the public relations matters that arise as a result of his stardom.
