DESTINY'S child kept his date with providence and now Luke Littler is at the gates of heaven.
As the 80mph gusts of Storm Henk howled around the Alexandra Palace birdcage, the boy who would be king reached the PDC Darts World Championship final - and Rob Cross was gone with the wind.
Earlier in the tournament, Littler tried to dampen the hype around his exotic talent by insisting he had "overachieved" simply by getting beyond the first round.
With respect: Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Littler? This was simply sensational.
You may not believe in the tooth fairy. You may not believe in the Easter bunny. And you may not believe in Father Christmas. But if you believe in miracles, then a 16-year-old boy is going to win the World Championship tonight.
And if he makes it to the summit, it will be one of the most fantastic sporting feats of 2024 or any other year.
