[@thethrills1987]

Great to see how happy Nathan is as well for him.

[@JS-ij3ks]

Proper good sportsmanship!

like honestly. you cant be mad at a 16 year old doin magic tricks hahahah

He was glad it was on his own throw.

Nathan Aspinall looked nearly as pleased as Luke did,great respect and sportsmanship.

Heck the Ref was overjoyed too

Massive respect to Nathan. What a gent! And what a dart player! Luke littler 👏🏻

[@matchdarts142]

True class act

[@Airbender-ow4zs]

I think, before the game, Nathan greeted Littler with the words „Hi Littler!“

[@JustinW2980]

This lad is absolute gold for the PDC and the sport of darts. My interest in the sport was waning and then this lad comes along. He is the biggest thing to happen since Fallon Sharrock won at the Worlds.

Feels a bit like Ronnie's debut back in 1993

[@ralfmalf5828]

I love the way Aspinall looks so angry with his own darts when he steps up for the second time . Then to see the joy in his face when he appreciates Luke’s 9 dart achievement is phenomenal sportsmanship

[@markfellows2268]

Loved the genuine joy in both the players, good to see.

You have plenty to be proud of. He's a prodigy and can only get better. He's also captured many previous non darts fans to the game.

@@TonysRcTechboom My friend attended the Bahrain Masters. The expats loved it.

[@paulcarroll7054]

Watching Luke brings back so many memories of what I could’ve achieved in the Darts world. I followed my Dad around the clubs & pubs of South East London. Whilst he entertained the customers with his brand of musical comedy, I began playing darts when no one else was playing. I wasn’t even tall enough to reach double 20 to retrieve my dart, so I would stand on a box to do so (10 yrs of age). I was soon playing adults. Within a year I was beating many throughout the pubs & clubs, learning to chalk scores proficiently. By age 12 I was being spoken about around many local pubs & clubs. Whenever junior competition came around, I was soon overlooked, and put into adult competition instead. News soon traveled, and a scout in the dart world came to watch me play, he didn’t make himself known. I was then told I had an offer to go to watch many of top names in darts (Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, amongst others) and play practice games against them. Sadly by age 12 I started missing school & got involved in street life, hanging with older lads & drinking, drugs, and crime. Darts took a back seat. Even years later whilst away on holidays I would play darts if we were in a pub or club. Thankfully I grew up & left the street life, settled down in marriage & became a responsible adult. Even to this day I can throw a fair dart whenever the opportunity arises, although now I live in East Africa, where darts isn’t a thing. It would be something special if I could introduce darts to Tanzania, and find a young talented child, and mentor him to achieve something you don’t see in the dart world, a African dart champion. Who knows 🧐

[@kcxy06]

Wow! What a story! Well, maybe you can still achieve your dream if it comes around :D
