  • Luke Littler showboating

    Look at him showboating. Look at it!

  • Luke Littler trolls Liverpool

    Darts wonderkid Luke Littler poked fun at Liverpool following the club's 3-0 defeat to Atalanta last week.

    The Reds suffered a devastating loss at Anfield in the Europa League, leaving Jurgen Klopp's treble hopes hanging by a thread.

    A brace from Gianluca Scamacca and a goal by Mario Pasalic gave the Serie A side a three-goal advantage heading into next week's match at the Gewiss Stadium.

    And Manchester United fan Littler couldn't help but rub salt into the wounds of Liverpool fans at full-time.

    The 17-year-old took to Instagram to share the scoreline and simply commented: "Oh dear."

  • Bryceland on Littler

    Luke Littler has given Owen Bryceland the belief he can be a Premier League star by the time he turns 16.

    That would break Littler’s record of making his debut earlier this year at the young age of 17.

    Luke has inspired me as well. I wanted him to win the world championship. I got to meet Luke at the Scottish Open two years ago so I was so pleased to see him do so well, especially as he was also in the JDC for the last few years.

    I haven’t thought about it much but I can aim to be in the Premier League when I’m 16. I told my mum and dad from a young age that I was going to be a PDC player.

    I don’t practice for a certain amount of time. I come home from school and have a throw but I don’t put any pressure on myself.

    I’m a bit like Luke, I go on my phone and then play a bit and that’s it. I practice playing darts more than homework though. But I still work on my maths!

  • More from Owen Bryceland

    Owen Bryceland is a strong contender in the JDC, coming through the same ranks that made Luke Littler into a star.

    I missed the first JDC tournament earlier this year because I hadn’t turned 10-years-old. After my birthday, then it went to Glenrothes in Scotland and I won the final event.

    I then won two events in Coventry during the Easter holidays. My next tournament is this weekend and I have to sort that out with school.

    For my first tournament, I could not add anything up. After Christmas I had learnt so much I was really good at maths. I’m now top of my class at school and told I have a good understanding of the subject.

  • Next Luke Littler?

    New darts wonderkid Owen Bryceland, 10, played darts with Gary Anderson when he was only four years old and now he’s aiming to break Luke Littler’s Premier League age record!

    I first watched darts on TV when I was in my baby walker and I watched it constantly. That was when Gary Anderson was winning the world championship. He was my first hero.

    I’ve actually been playing since I was 18 months. I don’t remember that much though. I started with a soft tip board and then my dad stuck a real board underneath his own.

    I then got real darts for my second birthday. My mum and dad knew I was safe with them and I loved playing and have done ever since. Gary even watched me play at an exhibition when I was four.

    As I got a bit older I used to throw a bit closer to the board. Then I went to an exhibition in Newcastle with Michael van Gerwen two years ago.

    Michael insisted that I practice with him at full height and the right distance because he thought I was good enough. That’s when I went home and told my mum and dad I wanted to play in the JDC (Junior Darts Corporation).

    Michael was my inspiration and sat at my table. He was speaking to us all, he was really nice and good to me.

  • More from MVG

    Michael van Gerwen still believes he is the man to beat and pointed to his vast experience over Luke Littler.

    I don’t have to chase anyone. He has to chase me still.

    I’m about 150 tournaments ahead. Good luck to him.

    You play each other so often, you are going to win two times and then lose two times. That’s the way it is. That’s going to happen in the Premier League.

  • MVG launches stinging attack on Littler

    Michael van Gerwen launched a shock attack on Luke Littler after his Premier League Darts win.

    With all due respect, he hasn’t won anything yet. If people haven’t won anything yet, should they be getting into Forbes.

    He played c**p tonight and I beat him, that’s the reality.

    I’m happy with the win, and we move onto the next one.

  • Luke Littler throwing arrows

    Darts superstar and massive football fan Luke Littler has slammed the Fifa trait that he dislikes the most.

    When he's not busy competing, Littler loves to chill out by playing EA FC 24 and has tried his hand at playing online but is unhappy with how people act on Pro Clubs.

    The mode enables gamers to control one player during an online match, teaming up with other people around the world.

    Littler, however, feels that people are too selfish and took to social media to fume about players' greed.

    The Nuke wrote on his Instagram story: "Pro clubs drop is the worst ever. Why does no one pass the ball?"

  • Luk away now

    Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen were slammed for being "poor" on live TV by Wayne Mardle during their Premier League final.

    Littler, 17, was going for his third consecutive win to cement his place at the top of the leaderbord but it was not meant to be though as he lost the match 6-3.

    You will seldom see these two play this poor.

    This feels so difficult for both players.

  • Like father, like son

    Darts ace Joshua Richardson is following in the footsteps of his father, James.

    Myself and Josh were honoured to put the England shirt on.

    It was the first time for me and the second time for Josh but the first time a father-and-son have played in the same team for England.

    The team spirit within the team was like nothing I’ve experienced before.

    Everyone was getting behind every player and it was great to see a clean sweep for the country.

  • Exclusive - ace out to shatter Littler record

    New wonderkid Owen Bryceland played darts with Gary Anderson when he was only FOUR.

    Now he’s aiming to break Luke Littler’s Premier League age record!

    Read our exclusive interview below.

  • Littler enjoys trip with girlfriend

    Luke Littler and his girlfriend, Eloise, enjoyed a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this weekend.

    The couple posted their visit on their Instagram and declared they had been "soaked" on the log ride.

    In the joint post, Eloise wrote: "Wasn’t lying when they say you get soaked on Valhalla."

    But the couple were all smiles as they posed for a sweet selfie.

  • MVG surprise

    Wayne Mardle admits he was surprised by Michael van Gerwen winning Premier League Darts 11.

    But he appears even more shocked that losing finalist Luke Litter played so poorly.

    MVG beat overall leader Littler 6-3 in a below-par final at Birmingham.

    And Sky Sports pundit Mardle – an ex-Prem star – said: "If I’m honest, I didn’t think Michael would win that final.

    "But who could have foreseen Luke Littler playing that poorly?

    "For Michael van Gerwen it’s been a real hard graft all night. But, he gets number four won and what an achievement."

  • Van Gerwen lays down the law

    Michael van Gerwen has insisted Luke Littler needs to be chasing him, despite trailing in the Premier League table to the teen sensation.

    MVG was asked about having to chase Littler down, who stormed to the top following two successive wins.

    "I don't have to chase anyone. He has to chase me still," the Dutch star replied.

    "I'm about 150 tournaments in front of him, so good luck to him."
