"Crazy to think of me being bigger than Phil'' - Luke Littler dismisses comparison with Phil Taylor

Luke Littler could become the best darter ever in the coming years, according to some, with people even whispering how "The Nuke" could surpass Phil Taylor's tally of world titles (16).

Littler, however, sees that as an impossible task. "I don’t think anyone’s beating that record!" the English teenage sensation responded to PA. "It’s just crazy, crazy to think of me being bigger than Phil."

The reigning world youth champion has not set any goals for himself, either. "I’ve said to many people I’ve not really set any goals. I just get on with it. I just have to throw my darts and see where they go. I’m still gobsmacked that I’m here, getting all these opportunities. I’m just taking it in my stride as I do.”

Meanwhile, Littler is enjoying the opportunities available to him. "I just love playing in front of a crowd," Littler continued. "I enjoy trying my best to put on a performance and I know I can play against the best. I’ve broken into the top 32, so hopefully I’m here for many years to come.”
