LUKE LITTLER has paved the way for youngsters to shine in darts and they’ll be chasing success like he once did at the World Youth Championship – which also comes with a nice bit of prize money.
The Nuke recently became a 17-year-old millionaire after humiliating Martin Lukeman 16-3 in the Grand Slam of Darts final.

But it was just 12 months ago when Littler picked up £10,000 for lifting the World Youth Championship.
Littler announced himself to the world by beating Gian van Veen 6-3 in what turned out to be a thrilling final.
However, the teenage sensation did not feature despite being eligible due to other commitments meaning that fans could see a new Littler emerge on the scene.
And that also means the winning cash prize is guaranteed to go to someone else’s bank account.
