Yeah, depends how much drive he has to go on for 30 odd years like Taylor did, he could probably afford to retire in 5 -10 if he keeps going , plus there’s so much young talent coming through these days , already stories about 12 year olds hitting the big finishes , be hard for anybody to get 16 , but I would bet on him surpassing Bristow and Barneys 5
God willing. Littler won't turn out to be a Andy Fordham, but I think the warning signs are there...Its up to the kid and his handlers.
Premier Leage is halfway through, Littler could take rest of it off and still qualify for finals night
Last night, Geordies singing 'Leeds are falling apart again' and 'we all hate Leeds scum' to Humphries
Bunting must’ve been worse for wear after his night out on Wednesday. Really needs to get off that zero
Unfortunately was working so couldn’t but had a pal who went. Quite a few left after Dobey lost though apparently
While Littler was magnificent in beating Bunting, and Humphreys likewise against Aspinall in the semi, both weren't at their best in a scrappy final, Littler took the chances when it mattered.
please log in to view this image 1 Million for the world champ, and some still class it a pub game , the same as tiddlywinks or dominoes.
to be fair Hearn has had it growing year on year, but Littler definitely boosted it up another level again. its strange as it got a bit boring for a few years when Taylor was dominating and nobody could touch him, and one of the best things since he retired was the openness of the field and how you felt almost anybody could win a tournament. as fantastic as watching Littler is, you almost want his improvement to slow down so it doesnt become another scenario of somebody winning everything for years.
Agreed. The next wave of youngsters may be the best ever though because of his influence. Humphries and Littler are way ahead ATM
