‘Proved a lot of people wrong’: 17yo global phenom opens up on ‘crazy’ rise ahead of Aussie debut
His barnstorming run saw him defeat the likes of five-time World Champion and idol Raymond van Barneveld and former world number one Rob Cross.As of late May, Littler had won a staggering £648,500 from throwing darts alone, the equivalent of over $A1.25 million.
“He saw lots of potential in me with my darts. I listened to him, and it’s certainly paid off,” Littler said. Another is his childhood coach Karl Holden, who once claimed Littler was a “freak of nature” and the “Ronaldo of darts”. Littler became the youngest man ever to hit a televised nine-darter during his quarter-final clash against close friend Nathan Aspinall before defeating darts legends Gerwyn Price and Michael Van Gerwen on the way to his first World Series title.
