World number one Luke Humphries has expressed his support for 14-year-old Alex McGarrie, a young fan who has been bullied for two years. Humphries wants to make sure Alex has an unforgettable experience and plans to approach the PDC to arrange VIP tickets and a meet-and-greet with the players in Manchester.
Alex, from Stockport, is an avid darts fan and has faced a lot of bullying at school, Hazel Grove High School. According to his parents, he is targeted by bullies because of his autism.
When Humphries heard about Alex's situation, he decided to make a heartwarming gesture via X (formerly Twitter). “I will speak to the PDC this week when in Cardiff and see if we can get him some tickets and a chance to meet all the players in Manchester if that suits? No one likes a bully, hope he’s ok and send him my best wishes.”
Humphries, nicknamed "Cool Hand," returns to action in the Premier League in Cardiff on Thursday, where he will take on Michael van Gerwen. The darter from Cheshire is currently second in the Premier League, just one point behind leader Luke Littler.
Humphries, Littler and Gerwyn Price have each won two Premier League nights already this season. In addition, Humphries already has a major title to his name this year at the Winmau World Masters.

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
