Luke Littler switches from darts to football management as he’s pictured on Premier League pitch
LUKE LITTLER swapped darts for football at the weekend as he managed a team at Goodison Park.
The 17-year-old managed KICK FC in a charity match against Everton.
Some of the UK’s biggest content creators and streamers came together for the match in aid of Everton in the Community.
MMA star Molly McCann and YouTuber Yung Filly were also present for the event.
Littler‘s team suffered an 8-3 defeat to Everton, but it didn’t stop the darts star from enjoying the occasion.
He took to Instagram to write: “Good day at Goodison yesterday, managed the Kick fc side lost 8-3 to a good Everton FC side, all for a good cause for the Everton community.”
Littler topped the Premier League Darts table with a quarter-final win over Peter Wright in Sheffield.
He will now face Michael Smith in the first Play-Off semi-final at the O2 Arena, London.
Smith recently claimed that Littler’s rapid rise has angered many opponents.
He said: “I think they are getting annoyed. I had it last year, Littler is getting it all now.

“I don’t think they are happy that he’s getting everything. I’m not bothered.
“The players at 70 in the world shouldn’t be bothered because this young kid at the minute is one of the best players in the world.
“The people at 70, 80, 90 all they should think about is that their money is going to keep going up and up and up.
“The more this kid is playing, we get better sponsors, hopefully Eddie (Hearn) puts the prize money up again, £1,000 to £1,500 on the ProTour.
“Just because of Littler we’ve gone from being wherever we were in the ratings to only now the Premier League football in the UK is out rating us. Just because of that kid.”
