IT’S on – the biggest Saturday night generation game since Bruce Forsyth’s conveyor belt.
Raymond van Barneveld, 56, a five-times world champion will meet 16-year-old Luke Littler, the boy wonder of darts, in the Paddy Power PDC World Championship fourth round.
If Luke the Nuke (inset) slays the Barney Army’s field general at Alexandra Palace, it will be a sporting feat for the ages.
Van Barneveld clinched his date with destiny after a 4-1 win against Jim Williams on a memorable Friday afternoon and joked: “At 16 years old, I was playing with Lego.”
Littler was born 20 days after the last of Barney’s five world titles – the sudden-death cliffhanger against Phil Taylor on New Year’s Day in 2007.
