The Nuke blows Ratajski - and the fans -away
LUKE LITTLER might have been booed when his face first appeared on the big screen here last night - but it was not long before he had the Ally Pally crowd roaring his name to the rafters.
'The Nuke' turned on the style to book his place in tonight's semifinals at the PDC World Darts Championship as he beat Krzysztof Ratajski (above with Littler) 5-0 in just 33 minutes.
He will now face Ryan Searle after a dominating display which saw him in command from the start as he took the first set with a stunning checkout of 170 on the bullseye.
