‘Luke is a celebrity, not a darts player’: Nathan Aspinall labels Littler a celebrity

Nathan Aspinall speaking on Luke Littler’s’ incredible impact on the sport but believes the teenager is a celebrity as opposed to a darts player.

Transcript

00:00 He is a fantastic talent. What he's done for the sport, forget about his darts ability

00:07 because it's not about his darts, Luke. He's not a dart player, he's a celebrity. I'm a

00:12 dart player, he's a celebrity, that's the difference. But what he's doing, because he

00:17 is a celebrity, he's projecting darts to a whole new level. I did a day in media on Tuesday

00:25 before I came here at the BBC. BBC have never cared about darts. All of a sudden me and

00:32 Luke Lutler have been there for five hours doing media because they want us. That isn't

00:36 because of me, that isn't because of Van Geer and that's because of Luke Lutler. So you

00:40 know, you've got to give credit where credit's due. He is helping us boys out as much as

00:46 himself but darts wise he's great but he isn't got what we've got at the moment. He's got

00:54 to learn from us. I don't learn from him, he learns from me.

00:58 - Thank you.
