THE BOY DONER GOOD

Sheesh.. kebab-loving Luke destined for top

- MIKE WALTERS

LUKE LITTLER arrived at Alexandra Palace as the boy wonder of darts – but tonight, on a bill featuring the world’s top two, he is the main man. 

Although Michael Smith continues the defence of his Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship crown against Madars Razma, and Michael van Gerwen should blow away Richard Veenstra, Littler will be centre stage again.

The 16-year-old celebrated with a kebab after beating Christian Kist on his Ally Pally debut before seeing off Andrew Gilding in the second round.

And ‘Luke the Nuke’ goes into his third-round contest against Canada’s Matt Campbell with a gallery of champions lining up to acclaim him as the real deal.
