Littler sure he can match Taylor's 16 world crowns

The 17-year-old consolidated his status as the biggest star in the game by winning the World Championship with a 7-3 demolition of Michael van Gerwen at Alexandra Palace on Friday night.

Littler has already achieved things away from the oche that the great Taylor could not do by transcending the sport, but says he also has the talent - and time - to match his sporting records as well.

Asked what he could achieve, he replied: "Add to it. Get maybe a few more. If I want the 16, then I am sure I could possibly achieve it.

"If deep down, if I really want it, then with my ability, I'm sure I can achieve a lot more. But I know I'm in this for a long, long time.

"I just want to try to win as many titles as I can this year. I won ten last year. I've started the year off with one. But just try to add to that ten.

Maybe win ten, 11 or 12 or even more titles.
