Leeds United’s newest famous fan reacts to Prime Minister statement
steadfast following an exciting 7-4 match against young wonder Luke Littler, Leeds United supporter Luke Humphries was declared the winner of the PDC World Darts Championship on Wednesday night.
The Warrington native Littler, who is the youngest player to ever make it to the world final, has won over a lot of fans with his electrifying performance on stage. However, Humphries had the support of Elland Road prior to winning his first world title, even if the 16-year-old had captured the hearts of Alexandra Palace.
Humphries acknowledged that it was a “surreal moment,” and Farke emphasised that Leeds would “sort out” whatever requirements he might have from the team. In addition to wishing the 28-year-old success in the final, the official club Twitter account also praised his victory after the thrilling match.
“Keep January 3rd in mind! Thank you for winning the @OfficialPDC World Championship, @lukeh180!” Leeds made a post.
With 3.75 million viewers that night, the Humphries vs. Littler final became Sky Sports’ biggest non-football audience for a single event. Following his victory, Cool Hand Luke received accolades from all throughout the nation, including from 10 Downing Street.
On Twitter, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak congratulated Humphries. The newly crowned world champion replied by thanking everyone who had supported his journey thus far. But Humphries removed his post soon after it was published.
“I’m grateful to @RishiSunak for the opportunity to participate in the competition and take home the World Championship. The champion first wrote, “It is difficult to put into words how I feel right now, but it is a truly amazing feeling that I shall never forget and the unbelievable support I have received will stay with me forever.”
