BBC Sounds
The latest pop-up episode
of The
Sports Desk podcast on BBC Sounds is dedicated to Luke Littler's amazing emergence over the past three weeks.
Jane Dougall is ed by semi-professional darts player
Deta Hedman, who has known Luke since he was just ten years old, and darts
journalist Chris Hammer from Sporting Life, who believes the teenager’s
achievements aren’t a flash in the pan and that he will go on to emulate the
success of other sportspeople like snooker's Ronnie O’Sullivan.
We also hear from PDC chief executive Matt Porter who talks
about the challenges of the World Championship for someone as young as Luke
and how he’s been coping with the pressure of playing in front of the Alexandra
Palace crowd.
