X marks top spot for Ally Pally ace Littler
Daily Express
|December 23, 2023
LUKE LITTLER realised his life was about to change beyond recognition when he was trending on social media above Kylian Mbappe.
France star Mbappe, below, may have scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final 12 months ago and can run fast – but could he hit double 10 to seal a famous win at Alexandra Palace when the pressure is on?
As Luke the Nuke absorbed the enormity of his Ally Pally coup, where he beat former Lakeside world champion Christian Kist and 2023 UK Open winner Andrew Gilding on consecutive nights, his celebrity spread like wildfire.
The new star of the oche was staggered to learn darts manufacturer Target had sold 900 packs of his branded arrows in 24 hours – and hundreds of kids will wake up to sets of Luke Littler darts on Christmas morning.
At 16, the boy wonder from Warrington is taking fame in his stride.
