You won't be seeing Luke Littler on the popular podcast anytime soon.
Former Liverpool and England striker Peter Crouch is "making a stand" by not allowing darts sensation Luke Littler on his popular podcast.After reaching the World Championship final in January following wins over Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross, the teenager lifted his first senior ranking event at the Bahrain Masters with a victory over Michael van Gerwen.on the show as a guest played out between Crouch and fellow presenter Chris Stark, known for his stint on BBC Radio 1.
“We are going to be the only media outlet to say we don’t want Luke on because we want him to concentrate on his darts. This amount of weird attention that appears you must have seen it galvanise some players and people but it does have a negative effect as well."Stark added: "Maybe that’s we do with Luke. We give him a couple more years, win the Worlds at some point, then invite him on the podcast after that. Until then we operate a policy of everyone should leave Luke Littler alone.
"I'm going to say this now, we had another youngster called Josh Rock that all you press and everything else have absolutely destroyed," he said."So if it ever goes t**s up with Luke, then give yourselves a pat on the back, because that's the way it's going. Let the boy play darts."
