Darts and RL

[Eddie]

I see Luke Littler is from Warrington, anyone know if he’s a Wire fan? It would be nice exposure for RL if there could be a Saints v Wire rivalry element to him and Michael Smith.

Yep. There was a segment on the opening night showing the Wire players supporting Luke and wishing him luck.

Warrington social media was also wishing him luck too.

He had a full round during the week, Double round on a Sunday, the evening papers and the Warrington free paper on a Thursday I reckon,

He's earnt £25,000 already this week if he wanted to knock it on the head.

Not sure if he ever played darts on the pub scene, but should think there a few pubs round Warrington double checking there are no photos about of him drinking pints on their premises.

he's not old enough to drink although he looks old enough for a sun life insurance policy! is now trendy for 16 year olds to have an Adolf Hitler haircut?

I’ve lost track of what in fashion and what isn’t. I do know whatever the fashion is, it’s not as good as when I was young. Same with music.

True, there was nowt better than a centre parting with undercut, along with the baggiest jeans possible.

Adolf Littler?

[Ragingbull]

Plenty of pros tipping young Luke. 

No doubt him and all his fans will be thinking its his year.

Saw a video of him at 18 months with a darts set. First 2 treble 20. 

Video of a one darter at 14. 

Plus one of him in a youth final vs Beau Greaves when he was 12 and she was 17 I think.

The build up piece for him had him as a 10 year old in a photo with someone wearing a Saints top!! 

He looked about 27 as a 10 year old ( he now looks in his early fifties )

He won't have it for long....with that receding hairline he'll be full MVG by the 2026 championships

Did he live downwind of Widnes chemical works?

Most years in the darts there is a story that grabs the attention. Good on the lad.

Pretty sure he lived in Runcorn until he was 8 or 9 so every chance he grew up with Widnes's unique aroma in his nostrils.
