VIDEO: Footballer Phil Foden surprises world champion Luke Littler and teammates by hitting a 180
PDCFriday, 27 March 2026 at 17:00
Phil Foden is a very familiar face in modern English football, but the Manchester City forward recently showed he has another string to his bow. The 25-year-old even left Luke Littler momentarily speechless with his effort.
“The Nuke” gave the England squad a darts clinic ahead of the Premier League Darts night in Berlin, with the players currently assembled for the international break. Foden has a long football career ahead of him, but if he ever hangs up his boots, he could seriously consider a switch to darts.
The former wonderkid stunned both Luke Littler and the rest of the squad by firing in a 180. “Is this on camera?” he reacted, enthusiastic and surprised after hitting the maximum. Foden did not win the tournament, however, with that honor going to goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Littler impressed by level of top stars
Littler was quite impressed with the level of a few players, including Foden. “There’s a fair bit of potential in Aaron Ramsdale and Phil Foden. James Trafford can do it a little as well. The others? Not really! I wished the boys good luck for this summer. Let’s hope we can bring the world title home,” he told ESPN.
The darts session also proved a useful workout for Littler himself. On Thursday evening in Berlin, he clinched Night 8 of the Premier League Darts. It marked his third nightly win, moving him to the top of the table ahead of Jonny Clayton.

- I'm afraid the physique of Mr littler is not that of an elite sportsman. Remember when he was on kebabs and burgers,and proudly announced it? He's still a great player thoughrick6726-03-2026
- Yeah it was exciting when it started back around 05. Now its just a punish every week. Take it up to 12 players, and bottom 2 drop out after everyone has played once. No need for finals etc every week. At that stage make it first to 7 instead of 6 to take up the timeslot.Cameron.W14-03-2026
- Honestly,who cares? This league should be scrapped. It's just a money spinner for PDC and sky. How on earth can 8 players do this every week,and leave the rest behind? It's a bit shameful really. Anyone can win against anyone,but not every week. Scrap itrick6712-03-2026
- depends on the tournament, easier to tune out at minehead where the acoustics aren't very good and half the crowd are pensioners. "keir starmer's a w*****" is their only good chant though, they should censor the rest and keep that one.colt09-03-2026
- I watched all of the UK open and didn't hear it. Does anyone actually listen to, or hear the crowd noise? I just tune it out as it gets quite annoying. If I have to hear "if you love the darts stand up" one more flippin' time.... Clearly everyone there loves the darts, they paid for tickets. Why they should stand up is beyond me (half of them are so bladdered they'd fall straight back down anyway) hahaha
DartsEnvy09-03-2026 - I can't answer why, only the PDC can. I do watch most of them on PDC TV - I have it on in the background when working from home haha. There can be some great moments in them like Beau's recent 9 darter etc. As for their significance, they all contribute to the players rankings with the winners of each day getting 15K, so they are important to their rankings as well as their overall earnings. Win 4 in a year and there's a nice 60K (runner up also gets 10K per day). Also I've seen so many interviews where players say they really enjoy it, because its "pure darts" without the spectacle and they can just get on with it. As per the original reply above, with the stage format playing in front of a bunch of booing drunkards, it's a nice change of pace and can aid concentration. So I can perfectly understand why the players like it so much - it's a good earner, not quite as late nights and very quiet / pure.DartsEnvy09-03-2026

- I deserve it I am the greatest I am the people's champion I believe I will win the Premier League because I believe I am the best because honestly I am the people's champion and I honestly made the fans come tonight because I am honestly the greatest and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Oh shut up you pathetic pandering hideously ugly fat waste of space! Fatty Bunting should be more sincere and humbly accept he needed that instead of I this and I that.richieburnettrocks28-02-2026
