Darts sensation Luke Littler explains Didier Drogba celebration – with Chelsea legend & FIFA gaming franchise inspiring 17-year-old at World Championship

<p>Littler, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/can-win-this-teenage-darts-sensation-luke-littler-tells-man-utd-what-need-fa-cup-glory-2024/blt74c840b50aadcdb0" target="_blank">burst onto the sporting scene 12 months ago</a> at the World Darts Championship, is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kyle-walker-visits-ally-pally-luke-littler-world-darts-championship-after-man-city-star-failure-to-buy-christmas-presents-for-children-lauryn-goodman/blt54a9b316a9267573" target="_blank">back in the hunt for a global crown at Alexandra Palace</a> – making his way to the semi-finals. During his last-eight showdown with Nathan Aspinall, the 17-year-old broke out a legendary Premier League goal celebration.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ivorian striker Drogba, who took in two memorable spells at Stamford Bridge, became a hero to Chelsea supporters when playing his part in Premier League and Champions League title triumphs. He became famed for his iconic outstretched arms celebration.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Littler has taken to mimicking the former Blues striker, telling reporters of why he looked to the fearsome frontman for inspiration – with a popular gaming franchise also nudging him in that direction: “My mate’s been pestering me for months and months to do it and he was in the crowd. When I was walking off he’d done a celebration and I looked at him and I’d done it. Yeah, it was from FIFA.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Luke Littler 🤝 Didier Drogba <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PDCWorldChampionship?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PDCWorldChampionship</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/m0iJGSeUQX">pic.twitter.com/m0iJGSeUQX</a></p>— ChelseaReport (@chelsreport_) <a href="https://twitter.com/chelsreport_/status/1874567857528529242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 1, 2025</a></blockquote>
