Becker looked like a teen at the time. Littler the oldest looking 17 year old I've seen.

Littlers finishing and composure was unreal. But neither were racking up consistent high scores, with the quality not really getting to the level expected.
'To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal, light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.'

Littler is some operator be really tough to beat Taylors (hateful) record.MVG went through a spell where you thought he would push the record but form tailed off.Darts becoming a lot more high profile so there should be alot more younger talent coming through in next 20 years. With the prize money too it's a potential career where as when Taylor started off was just a pub game really.

Look-Up!

Very impressed by Littler and he lived up to the hype and never looked at any stage that the pressure got to him after the first few legs. He settled quickest and MVG was under the cosh from that point on. The Dutchman had chances and missed plenty of doubles but sometimes you have to credit the opponent's pressure for misses.
 Littler scored well on his darts so VG needed to be at his best to break but on his own throw the 17 year old was constantly breathing down his neck. Made him very uncomfortable and even if he had turned it on you felt there was another gear in Littler just to add to the task. The two bulls and D16 would have been an outrageous way to crown yourself world champion. Pity he had to come back for the double.

The North are World Champions!. The two lads are very emotional. Fair play to them. Rock was fantastic.

There won't be a brick thrown in Ballymena tonight.
