LUKE LITTLER cheekily asked for the match board after winning the World Darts Championship.
Littler, then 17, beat three-time former champion Michael van Gerwen to lift the trophy back in January.

In doing so, the teenage wonderkid became the youngest world champion of all time, while righting the wrong of his defeat to Luke Humphries in the previous year’s final.
Littler’s incredible triumph features in the new Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen series, spotlighting Eddie and Barry Hearn’s father-son empire.
In footage included in the Netflix show, the Warrington star could be seen saying “Whoo” as he finished his press conference.
Littler then hopefully asked: “Any chance of the match board?”
It was not confirmed whether or not the world champion managed to get his hands on the incredible keepsake.
Littler is far from being the only sporting superstar to feature in the documentary series.
The likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor and Conor Benn also make appearances.
During the show, Barry, 77, showed off his two arm tattoos.

Quizzed about them by talkSPORT host Andy Goldstein, Hearn said: “The first one? That’s Las Vegas. Eddie said it’s the worst tattoo he’s ever seen.
“So then, five years later I went back and had the other.
“The only two words that mean anything to me in the world. Family and life.
“And now, of course, Eddie’s dead jealous.
“He won’t admit it, but he would absolutely love a tattoo.”
During the six-episode show, Hearn also revealed where he’d like to be laid to rest after he dies.
Chatting with son Eddie while fishing, Hearn Snr said: “This is my place. This is my resting place. And I think when I go, my ashes can go here, please.”
Eddie Hearn replied: “What, in the lake?”
Barry Hearn said: “Put them in the lake.”
Eddie Hearn jokingly said: “What we could do is, you know how you weigh the fish? Tag them?
“Rather than getting cremated, I could just sling you in whole and tag you.
“And then when we drain the lake, we could bring you out and re-weigh you – and see how you’re getting on.”
