Littler will be aiming to go one better than his PDC World Championship debut last year when he was beaten in the final by Luke Humphries
Darts icon Bobby George has offered some sage advice to young ace Luke Littler to stay grounded despite his rising stardom as 'The Nuke' gears up for a return to Alexandra Palace.
He cautioned: "A young man like that, earning that money... I'm sure he wants to spend it on the things that we all did. Nice car, nice clothes sometimes it can be difficult when all of those things come at once. The reality is, it's hard for people to expect someone like Luke to behave in exactly the same way he did before Ally Pally last year because he turned into a superstar at that tournament. His life changed and he probably couldn't do all the normal things he used to do.
With high hopes for the youngster's future, George anticipates Littler's potential to clinch the world champion title on January 3, but he cautions that survival through the 'dodgy' initial rounds is critical, reports the Mirror. George noted the positive changes in Littler's demeanour during matches, commenting: "He seems more relaxed now.
