Winning simple as that but uh I I think he had a fantastic tournament as well I couldn’t produce what I was doing in the in in the other games and you only can punish yourself for that and that’s how sport works and you have to live for

Going to be best in the world prob is in my opinion
What a chump question. “What have you just achieved” bum question.
Couldn’t agree more with MVG, the kid is brilliant but don’t keep pushing him, just let him do his thing..
Nice words from MVG
I just can't picture him as a 16 year old
Too much practice is not a good thing.
Special talent…reminds me of Phil already. Congrats Luke.
MVG has peaked. Fact.
MVG is actually a very funny guy. Definitely should consider having his own podcast etc.
Dan, ask him if his darts are fitted with those Swiss points 😛
What people and his competitors have to understand is that he is the biggest draw right now because of the run he is on and his age. So naturally, it is going to get a lot of media attention. People complaining about that media attention are the reason he's going all that attention. Its not like they are going to stop watching, stop going to tournaments or stop competing against him. The genie is out of the bottle. Expect the expcected, waste your time complaing, wont make a difference.
16 years of age in that body is a disgrace and he should be ashamed of his life
Got a couple of black eyes at the end of that video there 😏
Great player
But please cut down on the kebabs 😁
He is 17 now.
Never in darts history has there been a lad this good at 16, its mind blowing and hopes its great next 30 years for him, i luv the lad
Excellent player but hope he watches his weight. Big lad already for 16.
16 looks 36
I think he's loving the attention tbh what I would hate for see though is everyone get on he's case if he has a badrun which will probably happen
Now you can afford a personal trainer fatty
The future GOAT of Darts
