Luke Littler isn’t the most popular darts player on Merseyside these days.
The teenager has been embroiled in something of a running feud with supporters of Liverpool FC over the past few months.
Littler aimed a dig at Liverpool after his own team, Manchester United, knocked the Reds out of the FA Cup back in March, and he continued to rub it in just three weeks ago as he referenced Everton’s 2-0 win over Liverpool during his walk-on in the Premier League.
Now, after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Aston Villa on Monday, Littler has shared an image on his Instagram story, once again, mocking the Reds.
Luke Littler mocks Liverpool again
Littler made reference to Liverpool once again on his Instagram story, contrasting the Reds’ result against Aston Villa with Manchester United’s earlier this season.
Manchester United beat Villa 2-1 back in February, while Liverpool were held to a draw this week.
Luke Littler’s personality is shining through
Luke Littler may just be 17 years old, but he’s not scared to put himself in the spotlight and ruffle a few feathers.
Raymond van Barneveld recently claimed that Littler is very quiet backstage, but his public persona appears to be becoming more and more brash as the weeks go by.
“That boy is just coming through, but is always on his phone. Earplugs in. Even when throwing in. Then you indicate right away that you don’t want to be bothered,” Van Barneveld said.
This reserved teenager seems to completely transform when he’s on stage or on social media, and he’s really not scared to wind a few people up and make a few enemies.
Littler was hounded by boos the last time he played in Liverpool for the Premier League, and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if he got the same sort of treatment the next time he played on Merseyside.
