    What about his schooling ?
    Doesn’t he have to remain in some sort of education until he’s 17/18.
    Aren’t the days gone where you could leave at 16 ?
    Then again, I think his future career path is already sorted

    Yeah one of my old school mates is semi famous from following in the family footsteps, so didn't take school lessons or homework particularly seriously as he knew grades didn't matter to him. Littler will be the same. He's going to be a multi millionaire from professional sport, so he doesn't need to know what 3.16 is equal to.

    The best certainly do now.
    The screenshot below shows the amount won in the last 2 years in "ranking" tournaments only. Doesn't include non-ranking tournaments (eg Premier League and other invitational tournaments) or money from sponsorships, personal appearances etc.
    There's big money in darts now.
    (£500k for the winner of the World Championship)

    I’d wondered about that. Obviously there’s no point in him being at school or college when he’s this good at what he does now and there being no reason he can’t do that for a living for 30 years - but there is a law which states you have to be in education until 18 these days, be that school, college or in work doing an apprenticeship. Not sure how they’ve got round that.

    Well it's almost pi but not quite so maybe pasti.

    or...

    John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Always with the caveats.

    It's not the darts, it's cakes and chips.
