Luke Littler’s dad spotted picking up fish and chips on son’s 18th birthday as darts world champion streams video games
LUKE LITTLER’S dad was spotted picking up fish and chips on the darts sensation’s 18th birthday.
The reigning world champion celebrated today after more than a year of top performances at the oche.
Littler decided to cap hitting his milestone by enjoying some game time – and then streaming his efforts online.
He showed off his skills on EAFC 25 to his fans and followers on TikTok.
Littler was watched by up to 3,500 people at one point during the live session.
But while the teenager was focused on his console his dad, Anthony Buckley, was out picking up dinner.
The taxi driver was snapped collecting some grub at the Castlerise Fish & Chips in Runcorn.
He could be seen collecting a bag of food while wearing his son’s ‘Nuke’ branded hoodie.
Dad Antony has often shown his support for Luke by watching on when he is at the oche.
He was also suited and booted for Littler’s appearance at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in December.
