Luke Littler warned about money months after darts icon claimed it’s 'gone to his head' Luke Littler has been advised to stay grounded by Bobby George after Dennis Priestley feared that fame and fortune may have gotten to his head.
Despite only being introduced to the big stage at Alexandra Palace a year ago, Littler is now hurtling towards the upcoming tournament as favourite, with an impressive £1 million in career earnings and a collection of titles including the Premier League, Grand Slam of Darts, and World Series Finals.
"The reality is, it's hard for people to expect someone like Luke to behave in exactly the same way he did before Ally Pally last year because he turned into a superstar at that tournament.
My advice to him would be to simply keep his feet on the ground and do exactly what he's done all year play darts and don't get involved in people saying, 'Sign this contract, do this,' because there's a lot of sharks out there.
These concerns come months after another darting legend, Priestley, expressed his concern that the 17-year-old prodigy had let the glory on the back of his achievements and Ally Pally final cloud his judgement.
