Leeds United supporters will have extra reason to throw their backing behind Luke Humphries in Wednesday night’s World Darts Championship Final – because he is one of them!
The 28-year-old may well have been born in Berkshire but he is a lifelong supporter of the Whites and has spoken of his love for the club and how he came to follow the club in the recent past.
In reaching his first ever World Championship final, Humphries has set up what will be a historic clash against 16-year-old sensation Luke Littler – and to add extra spice to the contest, the youngster supports Manchester United. They will go head-to-head on Wednesday night as Humphries aims to add the world title to his Players Championship, Grand Slam of Darts and World Grand Prix titles.
But who is Luke Humphries and what has he said about supporting Leeds United?
What has Luke Humphries said about facing Luke Littler?
Speaking to Sky Sports in the aftermath of his whitewash win against Scott Williams, Humphries immediate set his sights on the historic final meeting with Littler and admitted he would have to be at his best to claim his first ever world title.
He said: “The way he’s played, I’ve seen it many times. When you come up on this stage it can be a lot tougher but he’s just proved he’s got a lot of bottle. Nothing is going to faze him. If he plays like he did tonight, tomorrow is not going to faze him at all, so I will probably have to play the game of my life.
