Littler teaches England squad how to hit target

World champion hosts ‘Three Lions darts championship’
Littler: ‘It was a dream as a football fan to come here’
Luke Littler was happy to teach the England squad how to hit the target as he hosted a darts tournament at St George’s Park.

The double world champion visited Thomas Tuchel’s group as they build up towards upcoming pre-World Cup friendlies with Uruguay and Japan.

Littler had dinner with the players before hosting the “Three Lions darts championship” at their Burton base on Tuesday night.

Despite Phil Foden hitting a 180 in the final, the Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale became camp champion to leave Littler impressed.

The 19-year-old, who travels to Berlin this week for the latest round of Premier League action, said: “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.

Littler was presented with a signed shirt, with Jude Bellingham also giving him a signed jersey with the message “keep smashing it” on the back.
