How do you celebrate becoming double world champ and banking £1m? By splashing out on football trading cards, of course
IT IS the morning after the mauling and Luke Littler is a man very much in demand.
But with every question thrown at him from media outlets at home and abroad, there is no panic to rush out an answer.
Every reply is considered, even if he might have had only a few hours of sleep after ordering “£150 worth of pizzas in for everyone”, has not been home since Boxing Day and his beloved Manchester United would soon be kicking off against Leeds.
Twelve hours earlier, Littler was equally impressive and not just in his stunning destruction of Gian van Veen to retain the Sid Waddell Trophy and become only the fourth player to win the PDC World Championship back to back.
The world - with as much interest in New Zealand as in Newmarket - might have seen 'Luke the Nuke' at his best to win the final 7-1 at Alexandra Palace in 43 minutes of spectacular darts.
But it was amid the cacophony of noise, flashing lights and the chanting from those in a 'Littler Wonderland' as he secured victory that the teenager showed a side of himself that says everything about him as a person.
