Luke Littler visited the England national football team camp at St George’s Park to host a fun darts tournament and engage with Thomas Tuchel’s squad as they prepared for upcoming pre-World Cup friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
The double world champion enjoyed dinner with the players before overseeing the ‘Three Lions Darts Championship’ at their Burton base on Tuesday evening.
Although Phil Foden hit a 180 in the final, it was Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale who claimed camp champion honours, leaving Littler impressed.
“It was a dream as a football fan to come here to see the facilities, meet all the players and sit down and have dinner and have a laugh with them,” the 19-year-old reflected.
“We played a bit of darts – as they were warming up, Thomas Tuchel told me to teach these boys a lesson!
“There’s some good potential there in Phil Foden and Aaron Ramsdale. James Trafford had a little bit as well.
“The others not so much! I wished the boys luck this summer – let’s hope they can bring it home.”
Littler was also presented with a signed shirt, with Jude Bellingham gifting him a jersey with the motivating message “Keep smashing it” on the back, marking a memorable night for the young darts star.
