“I Got a Message Off David Beckham” – Luke Littler Reveals Inter Miami Boss’ Note of Appreciation

Teenage darts player Luke Littler was so close to making history as the youngest winner of the World Darts Championship. The 16-year-old’s fairytale run, however, ended with a loss in the final against Luke Humphries. Anyhow, his stellar campaign caught all the attention, as his fanbase shot up on social media. Besides, numerous words of appreciation also came the teenager’s way. Among the ones who said nice things to Littler were David Beckham and his son Romeo. The Englishman was quick to praise him, saying ‘well done‘.

Luke Littler grew up as a die-hard Manchester United fan. The Red Devil’s veteran returned the love to Littler as he made it to the Darts Championship final. Hearing pleasant words from a legend like David Beckham has surely rendered a fan-boy like Littler on cloud nine.

What was David Beckham’s message for Luke Littler?

In a recent interview with ‘talkSPORT,’ Luke Littler said his dream run at the World Darts Championship has made him a celebrity of sorts. “It’s been crazy. My Twitter/X followers have gone up, views have gone up. My Instagram has gone shot out the window. Even I got a message off David Beckham, Romeo, Luke Shaw,” said Luke Littler. The hosts asked what the Inter Miami owner told him. “I think he said, ‘Well done, once a red, always a red.’ And Romeo is there tonight. He said ‘good luck,'” the 16-year-old added.

Though David Beckham’s message left the teenager amused, the former’s gesture is no surprise. DB has historically recognized the game of sporting icons outside soccer. His appreciation of NBA players and cricket players, among others, is known to the world. Besides, as Littler is a Red Devil’s faithful, it is paramount for the freekick specialist to give back love and appreciation. Meanwhile, other club icons have also shown great love to the prodigy as he lit up the World Darts Championship stage. Let’s dive deeper.
