[@themilkguzzler2467]

Absolutely delighted for him. As someone who struggles with depression myself, it's inspiring to see his journey and how he's managed to overcome these challenges. Well done Luke!

[@TheInfiltrator101]

Really? I liked him before he started crying about his mental health. It’s so embarrassing for a man to break down like that. Have something about you ffs.

Humphries has been the best player all year, he truly deserved this win. Shame Littler couldn't create history, but he lost to the one person that deserved it the most. Great tournament.

[@barry2924]

Humphries shud have been out twice in the tournament think overall littler was better in the tournament but he won and that's that

Tremendous player and down to earth fella. Fair play 👏

proper down to earth

[@jochens.958]

He talks about it! He is great! I know what he is talking about. In the 90s I had no help with my panic and anxiety, things got worse. I first got help after years of suffering, but fortunately most of my time I am a happy man now. He searched for help immediately and got it. Cool Hand Luke, great guy and world champion!🎯💪🙏

[@william53519]

Luke Littler is 16 years old. He'll learn more from his failure to win than he would ever learn if he won. Failure builds resiliency and strength to pick yourself up when you've been knocked down

[@Dima0081]

He and his win at this WDC reminds me of Mark Selby of snooker. Both are exceptional players at their sports, share same mentality and both gone through tough times and ended up on top right after. Congrats to Luke, well deserved!!

[@mbenn2]

Amazing to see darts showcasing mental health challenges and a 16 year old superstar of the future. The game is being revolutionised.

[@paulbrennan3996]

Well done Luke Humphries 🙏🤍💛💙 what a 🎯 Darts 🏆 final we won't forget this final in a long long time amazing respect shown by both players 🙏🤝 hat's off Lads first class 🥇 show 🏆🫶👊✊

[@lefty9419]

What an incredible Champion! MVG should learn something from guys named Luke. That was an epic tournament and a well deserved winner. Cant wait to see Littler win the title. Serious competition now

[@yusufluhar5881]

What a player, i backed him to win multiple majors around August September time coz of the way he was playing and within 3 months he has won 4 majors which is unbelievable. Most in form player in the world and i cant wait to see him in the PL.

[@kansmansen8609]

I bet 500 quid on him to win at odds 1.70. 350 quid profit, quite nice :D

Luke Humphries is a champion in Darts and Life, you will overcome the depression, it was your destiny to be victorious, accept the victory, one thing about depression, you feel for your opponents and you feel bad that you won, inside luke Humphries he wanted to win however a element inside him, he wanted Luke littler to win also.

[@endahanley1679]

Super interview: These two guys are changing the sport for the better. There's way too much hate in the world.

[@creativeamerican8811]

00:18 This insight is beautiful. So honest, funny and wise. So happy for him because the crowd were a tad twattish.

LH I wish I put money on you. I knew you will win without a doubt and you should never say you’re hands were shaking. Cool Hands and you don’t want to be known as shaky hands LH. From a Cook Islander and your the better player and I’m proud of you

I dont get why people dislike him. Earned it. Great deserving player and now the world number 1

Does anyone know why Part & Mardel have fallen out? Between the very subdued Wednesday crowd and those two not sharing the coms duty. It was a dull night at the Pally wasnt it? Great game tho
