What a year for Littler. Let’s be honest, before the World Cup last year, how many of you knew who he was?
He was only 16 years old when he debuted in last year’s tournament. And he kept winning. From being a bit of a cheeky guy, so to speak, on stage, he took out the likes of Andrew Gilding and Matt Campbell before taking on his childhood hero, Roman van Barneveld.
There is no problem there either. Just a 4-1 victory over a four-time world champion.
The streak continued as he beat Brendan Dolan and Rob Cross, before facing the man who would become his archrival, Luke Humphries, in the final.
He was up, missing the double 2 to go 5-2 up. But he didn’t and Humphries showed his class by coming back to claim victory. But a star was born.
Since then, he has become truly famous, starring in shows such as Jonathan Ross, Bullseye and Game of Throws.
However, there are darts to throw. and there is a job to do tonight.
