Luke Littler pays tribute to Sir Chris Hoy after terminally-ill Olympic legend presents world darts champion with award LUKE LITTLER paid tribute to terminally-ill Sir Chris Hoy who attended the darts for the first time.
Hoy – a guest of bookies Paddy Power – revealed in October he has stage four prostate cancer and doctors have been given “two to four years” left to live.
Hoy – Team GB’s six-time Olympic cycling champion – presented the Ballon d’Art trophy to Littler on Friday night in the post-game ceremony.
More than £1million was raised by Paddy Power for the Prostate Cancer UK charity as they handed out £1,000 for every 180 thrown as well as a bonus £120,000 for two nine-darters, hit by Christian Kist and Damon Heta.
The teenager scooped this individual honour – alongside the coveted Sid Waddell Trophy – because he threw 76 180s across six games.
