Luke Littler, 16, reveals classy message from Brendan Dolan after stunning World Darts Championship quarter-final win

LUKE LITTLER has revealed the classy message he got from Brendan Dolan after his latest Ally Pally triumph.

The 16-year-old’s PDC World Darts Championship fairytale continues today as he prepares to face fellow Englishman Rob Cross for a spot in the final.

Littler, who received a loving message from his 21-year-old girlfriend after making the last four, made history on New Year's Day.

He became the youngest ever player to reach the semi-finals with a 5-1 win over Dolan, 50.

That dazzling display followed on from his emphatic 4-1 triumph over former champ Raymond van Barneveld at Alexandra Palace.

After his latest landmark, Littler revealed that his latest victim had some heartwarming words of support for him. 

He said: “As soon as I hit the winning double I was like two games away and Brendan said ‘well done, you can go all the way’ same as Raymond.

“So, a lot of respect for Brendan as well as Ray for saying you can go all the way. Unbelievable.”

And ahead of his showdown with Cross, Littler added: “Obviously, I know I’ve got the ability to go all the way, but if it’s not to be tomorrow night it’s not to be.

“But whatever Luke Littler turns up then it is what it is.”

The 2018 champion came from 4-0 down to beat Chris Dobey 5-4 in another historic contest to set-up the semi with Littler, who has dropped only four sets all tournament.

The teen said: “Rob Cross won it on debut as well.

“I am looking forward to playing him in the semis. It will be nice to chill in the morning and then come back in the evening.”

Littler’s remarkable feats have seen him rapidly rise from an unknown kid to a national sporting star.

The Manchester United fan has received good luck messages from defender Jonny Evans and legendary ex-captain Gary Neville at the tournament.

He was also asked for a photograph by Arsenal footy players Aaron Ramsdale and Declan Rice last week.

Littler then watched Tottenham's Premier League match against Bournemouth on New Year's Eve from a luxury box.
