NEWCASTLE hero Dan Burn danced to a surprising new Toon as he helped whip fans into a frenzy at Premier League Darts Night 8.
The Carabao Cup winner and new England star sung along to LUKE LITTLER‘S walk-on tune – and also videoed the world champion.
Dan Burn acted like any other darts fan at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena
Luke Littler took booing from the crowd in his stride
Manchester United supporter Littler was booed by by the crowd as he strode out to the oche at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena.
One reason might be that local lad Chris Dobey, one of the eight Prem competitors, is a big darts favourite on Tyneside.
And Bedlington ace Dobey was boosted beforehand after hearing Newcastle players would be there to roar him on.
But Burn showed he appreciates class and charisma wherever it comes from.
The 32-year-old, who is himself from Northumberland, had fun getting behind the Nuke in the opening match of the night.
The towering defender was a distinctive sight as he jigged away as the 18-year-old came out.
And Burn looked just like any other excited darts fan as he smiled broadly while appearing to take a video of the scene on his phone.
Littler went on to destroy Stephen Bunting 6-0 – averaging 110 and in fact finishing it all off with a checkout of the same score.

That put the Prem winner into the semi-finals on the night.
Meanwhile, Geordie hopeful Dobey was on a high simply to compete on ‘home’ turf.
He went into the night saying: “I’m delighted to get this opportunity again.
“Not many people can say they can play in front of a home crowd, and this will be the third time I’ve done so.
“So yeah, it’s a massive occasion, and yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”
