Luke Littler's first memory of watching darts has left fans completely stunned

Luke Littler continues to make fans feel very old after revealing his first memory of darts growing up.

The 16-year-old has been the talk of the town after a series of incredible displays at the PDC World Darts Championship.

With maturity and composure beyond his years, Littler has reached the semi-finals of the competition and is now guaranteed to earn at least £100,000 from his exploits on the oche.

He's beaten Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding, Matt Campbell, five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld and Brendan Dolan to set-up a semi-final showdown with 2018 champion Rob Cross on Tuesday evening.

'The Nuke' has been playing darts from the age of three, as a viral video shows.

However, his very first darts memory is what really highlights just how young Littler is.

Asked about his first television darts memory, he said: "It would have to be Gary [Anderson] winning back-to-back world titles in 2015 and 2016. That was around the time I joined the St Anne's Darting academy in St Helens."

That was less than a decade ago and of course it was enough to cause many to feel very old.

One wrote: "Well I feel 150."

A second said: "That's hardly a long enough ago to be memory. Never mind a first darting memory."

A third joked: "That was the day before yesterday in my mind."

Another predicted: "He could still be on the oche in 2060."

A fifth added: "Born not even three weeks after RvB's PDC title..."

Next up in Littler's quest for gold is Cross, who won the tournament in his professional debut year when he beat the legendary Phil Taylor in the final.

"Everyone loves an underdog story," Cross said on Littler.

"It took a bit of pressure off me winning it first time as well.

"He's fantastic and he deserves all the luck in the world - he is a nice young boy. Tomorrow we play darts, though, and I have to go down to business."
