Luke Littler claims he’s booed ‘because I’m English’ as he responds to rowdy darts fans
Luke Littler has claimed that he gets booed in Germany because the crowd do not like that he is English. The world champion was heckled during the Premier League’s visit to Berlin last week and recalls receiving a negative reception in Hildesheim on the European Tour.
Littler suffered a rare quarter-final defeat on night nine of the Premier League. He was comfortably beaten 6-2 by Chris Dobey and seemed affected by boos from the Berlin crowd. The 18-year-old, who leads the Premier League leaderboard by six points, navigated his walk-on without any negativity but says the boos started when he climbed on stage. Littler believes he was targeted because he is English.
