Luke's dad Anthony is a taxi driver from Warrington, Cheshire. And his mum Lisa is employed at a shop selling scented candles. Speaking about Luke's progression in the sport, Buckley told The Times: “He was a good footballer. He loved football. All kids do. But I said to him at nine, hang your boots up.
"Concentrate on darts. You can still play football here and there. But if there’s a darts comp on at the weekends, go to darts first. "Make that your priority, because I thought he could make it at darts — and he has done.". "When I said to him, you need to keep playing darts, he was OK with it. We put him in every competition that was online.
"Sometimes you’re getting up at 7am on a Saturday — my only day off — just to play darts. There were no lie-ins.". At the time of writing, Luke's dad Anthony is 43 years old. And his mum Lisa is currently 40 years old. Her social media is like a shrine to her son's incredible achievements at the oche.
