Luke Littler showed extreme humility on Saturday night after moments earlier beating his great childhood idol Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 in sets in the fourth round of the World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old super-talent said afterwards that he had enjoyed Van Barneveld's legendary pre-match turnout immensely. "It was unbelievable," Littler said during his press conference. "With his walk-on, I was totally into it, but as soon as the music stopped, it was all about me and my darts and I was focused. I won against this guy on the biggest stage imaginable."
Littler was born 20 days after Van Barneveld became world champion for the fifth time. 'The Nuke' quickly proved to be a huge fan of 'Barney'. "Thirteen years ago, in front of my little (dart) board, I copied his celebrations. This is the biggest win of my life," Littler concluded.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
