Luke Littler recently celebrating his 17th birthday, faced off against Dirk van Duijvenbode at the Dutch Masters after his victory in Bahrain. Despite being teased by Michael Smith for playing FIFA before the match, Littler secured a 6-2 win dazzling the crowd with a 150 finish.

His love for FIFA is no secret even jokingly considering spending his prize money on FIFA points. Littler’s rise to fame began with his World Championship debut defeating notable players like Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross before facing Luke Humphries in the final, where he lost 7-4.

Enjoying newfound fame, Littler experienced perks like flying on a private jet and being invited as a guest of honor at Manchester United’s match. Meeting Sir Alex Ferguson and other celebrities, Littler savored the moment and even got his shirt signed.
