James Wade has admitted he feels sorry for Luke Littler – and hopes the teenager is going to get the right guidance and support throughout his career.
Wade feels the 17-year-old, who turns 18 next month, doesn’t have the same pure determination to dominate darts like Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen had.
He told the Mirror: « I don’t think there’s anyone out there particularly dominant like Phil was, definitely not now.
« Luke Humphries has been very, very good – and Luke Littler, we will see how good he is going to be. He has done some amazing things.
« But I feel sorry for him and I am really concerned for him when he turns 18. It could be really hard for him when he turns 18. He needs guidance, but he’s a lovely kid and he is in a rough man’s world.
« Has he got amazing talent and ability? Yes, he has. Has he got that burning desire that Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen had? No, he hasn’t.
« He’s also breaking the mould, he is only going to have to play darts for 10 years to be financially set. »
