Luke Littler has been at it again after entertaining crowds with more than just his darts, opening one fan's FIFA pack on his way to the oche.
The Warrington lad faced off against legendary darts player Michael van Gerwen in the Premier League of Darts on Thursday night (22 February).
Now aged 17, his rise to the top of world darts at the age of 16 had viewers in disbelief after he reached the PDC World Darts Championship final on his debut.
In his very short professional career, the avid Manchester United fan has already become the youngest ever player to hit a televised nine darter at the 2024 Bahrain Darts Masters, when he was still 16. He went on to win the tournament, his first senior PDC title.

His natural talent at the oche saw him make his Premier League Darts debut this year, with him already putting aside the likes of Luke Humphries, Peter Wright and Rob Cross.
On Thursday, he faced off against Van Gerwen in the night four semi-finals.
But before taking to the stage, Littler had fans buzzing for another reason after opening a FIFA pack belonging to one supporter in the crowd.
The young lad, wearing a fabric dartboard around his head, held out his phone to Littler with it ready on the screen to open the pack.

Littler is a huge fan of FIFA (or EA FC as it's now called), with his spending some of his £200,000 prize money from the PDC World Darts Championship - £500 to be precise - on points for pack openings.
He happily obliged and opened the fans pack, with social media loving the segment.
One X user wrote: "What a fella."
A second said: "As if Littler has just opened a FIFA pack for someone on their phone."
A third added: "What a lad, what a sport."

A fourth continued: "Genuinely don’t think darts has been in a better place, one of the best sports going."
But there was one question on everybody's lips when it came to the pack itself.
"Need to know who this guy packed now," one said.
Another echoed a similar call: "Find this man, does Littler have the magic touch on packs as well?"

A third said: "Wonder if he got a walkout from the walkout?"
A fourth said: "I f*****g love darts. Who did the lad get though?"
Littler himself took to Instagram to comment on the viral moment, saying: "Cheeky FIFA pack on the way to the stage."
World at his feet. What a guy.
