Darts fans have jokingly backed Stephen Bunting to beat Luke Littler after it was revealed he is two months younger than football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Bunting will face wonderkid Littler in the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship on Thursday night. The 39-year-old has become a fan favourite over the course of the tournament, with his walk-on song Titanium proving particularly popular.
And those fans have shown their support for him after it was revealed he is younger than Ronaldo, having been born in April 1985 compared to the footballer's February birthday. The Al-Nassr star still appears to be at the peak of physical condition. While Bunting may not possess a similar physique to the Portuguese superstar, he does have a significant amount of talent on the oche. And he also has a sizeable fanbase who have rallied behind him ahead of his semi-final.
Replying to a Twitter post which had pictures of Bunting and Ronaldo side by side, one said: "One is top of his game and one is not." Another added: "But has Ronaldo done it at ally pally?". A third joked: "Tbf, Bunting has a better chance of becoming a world champion." A fourth said: "Bunting is still competing at the highest level of his sport.".
A fifth said: "One is the absolute peak iteration of the male form, the other is a footballer." A sixth concluded: "One's a top athlete competing with the best in the world, the other's in Saudi Arabia taking early retirement.". HAVE YOUR SAY! Who will win the World Darts Championship?
