Littler went on to lose 7-4 against Humphries but won the hearts of many following an excellent run throughout the tournament.

His incredible efforts led to United inviting him to Old Trafford on Sunday for their match against Spurs.

On the club’s official X account, he was seen stood by the pitch and holding a shirt with his name and 180 on the back – the perfect gift for the darts sensation.

And things got better for Littler after the game as he met legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson while also catching up with club captain Bruno Fernandes.

Both sides were desperate to win as they eye qualification for Europe next season but they settled for a 2-2 draw, with Littler there to cheer his side on.

He revealed to talkSPORT that United legend David Beckham sent him a message on social media amid his amazing tournament.

‘Well done, once a Red always a Red,’ the former England star said to Littler as he prepared for the biggest match of his career so far.

Beckham’s son Romeo did the same and was seen at Alexandra Palace for the final, with defender Luke Shaw also sending his best wishes.
