‘The Nuke’ defeats player three times his age to become youngest person to reach semi-finals of world championships
Luke “the Nuke” Littler, a 16-year-old darts prodigy, kept a remarkable sporting dream alive on Monday, imperiously defeating a player three times his age and becoming the youngest player, by some margin, to get to the semi-finals of the world championships.
Littler, from Warrington, beat the 50-year-old Northern Irishman Brendan “the History Maker” Dolan in his quarter-final match at Alexandra Palace in London.
