LUKE HUMPHRIES says his oche bromance with ‘little brother’ Luke Littler can dominate darts for the next decade. Humphries, 29, is aiming to become the FOURTH man to retain the Sid Waddell Trophy and follow in the footsteps of the legendary Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson.

If he scoops £500,000 on January 3 he will boast more than £2million in prize money over the past year — a record. Sport is defined by rivalries and Cool Hand reckons his emergence alongside superstar Littler, 17, will elevate standards and help establish a “new era”.

The world No 1, winner of seven major TV titles, said: “I won my first major a couple of months before Luke appeared on the scene but I feel like we’ve come through it together at the same time. “It’s not like he’s knocking me off my perch or I’m knocking him off his perch. We’re going together.

“When you look back, you see that Phil Taylor ruled and then Michael van Gerwen came along and knocked him off his perch. Maybe Phil didn’t like it but Michael was loving it. “And with Eric Bristow and Taylor, it happened when Phil took over. “The difference for us two is that we’re coming through at the same time.
“I know I’ve won more over the last 15 months — but hopefully over the next ten years we can share it out and create our own legacies.”. This year’s finals between the ‘Lukes of Hazard’ saw Humphries win the Worlds, Littler the Premier League, and Cool Hand the Players Championship.
