Luke Littler shares brilliant throwback picture to him as a child with dartboard as he shares inspirational message
LUKE LITTLER shared a brilliant throwback photo after winning the World Darts Championship.
The teen beat Michael van Gerwen to create history as the youngest winner of the competition.
Littler was asked after his victory about when he knew he had a knack for the game.
He explained he has been playing darts since using a magnetic dartboard at 18 months old.
And he has now shared a photo which proves he has been skilled at the arrows from an early age.
Littler, 17, posted a snap of his younger self celebrating hitting the bullseye.
He captioned the Instagram post: “Journey’s been pretty good so far looking forward to what the rest of 2025 has in store”
Littler has had some fun on social media since claiming the world title and the £500,000 jackpot that comes with it.
He recreated Lionel Messi‘s famous World Cup trophy photo by posing with the Sid Wadell Trophy in his bed.
Littler also snapped his dog Nala wearing one of his darts shirts while she posed next to the silverware.
