ASP WARNS PAL LUKE OF TROLLS

- MIKE WALTERS

LUKE LITTLER plays without a care in the world – but stablemate Nathan Aspinall fears the social media trolls are lying in wait for him. 

In tomorrow night’s BetMGM Premier League play-offs, 17-year-old ‘Luke the Nuke’ and world champion Luke Humphries are favourites to carry off the £275,000 winner’s loot, the second-richest prize in darts.

But the ‘Lukes of Hazard’ face an increasingly hostile audience online, and Aspinall warned the boy wonder: “I want him to understand that sport is tough, not everything is roses.”

Littler faces Michael Smith in his semi-final at the O2 Arena after losing five of his seven meetings with ‘Bully Boy’ during the 16-week league season.
