‘No point in playing’ – Luke Littler reveals gut feeling that would make him retire from darts in an instant

LUKE LITTLER has revealed he will retire as soon as he loses the fire in his belly.

The 18-year-old revealed he would not hesitate to quit if he loses the fire in his belly.

He told the : “Michael (van Gerwen) said this in a different interview – once the fire goes out your belly, there’s just no point in playing.

“So if I say I’m going to continue playing darts for 30 years, well I could wake up tomorrow morning, the fire’s gone out of my belly, and I wanna retire.”

Littler enjoyed a remarkable debut season on the Pro Tour, winning the Premier League before success in the World Series and the Grand Slam.

Now he has in his sights the remaining five majors, and he is aiming to win multiple titles.

Littler continued: “I probably won’t be playing at 50. It’s just the way the sport’s going. It’s just growing, growing and growing.

“But yeah, obviously the one thing I do want to do, and I’ve said it numerous times, is win one of every major at least once.

“Get them on the bucket list. Obviously, I’ve won a Pro Tour, a Euro Tour, the Premier League.

“I’ve won the biggest one, the World Championship. I’ve won the World Series and the Grand Slam. So there’s not much left.

“There’s not a lot for me to do now. And then I’ve ticked it all off.

“Once I do get one of everything, that’s when I want to at least add to it.
