Cool Hand Luke prepares to go into battle ... with rival Littler lying in wait
LUKE HUMPHRIES will fix bayonets, strap on his tin helmet and go over the top tonight for his own version of a classic film: Oh! What a Lovely War!
When Cool Hand Luke lost his No.1 spot in the world rankings to Luke Littler last month, he announced he was ready to "go to war" with The Nuke to regain his place at the summit.
In truth, the pair are the best of enemies.
But when Humphries launches his Paddy Power PDC World Championship crusade against Ted Evetts tonight, make no mistake - he's after Littler's crown at Alexandra Palace.
Littler (inset) has won nine majors, the 'other' Luke has won eight - and he wants to level the score.
"It's a bit of fun, isn't it? I don't know the word you can use to describe two of the best dart players going at it, trying to be world champion ... but yes, it's war," said Humphries.
