This intriguing tale is fast becoming the must-watch story at this year’s World Darts Championship. And the active author is none other than Luke Littler. He has penetrated the top eight in the competition by defeating Raymond van Barneveld.

Littler has conquered four opponents and has thus enjoyed his favorite meal, the kebab, four times.

News about Littler's kebab-loving habit has circulated rapidly over the internet, and restaurant owners selling this dish are aiming to capitalize on his popularity. One particularly enterprising eatery has offered the young athlete free kebabs for life. But there's a caveat.

Simple - to avail of this tasty offer, the 16-year-old has to clinch the world championship title. Although this challenge is tough, this extra incentive may propel the young player towards career success.

"Given Luke's obvious affinity for kebabs after each victory, we felt compelled to extend an offer that would further motivate his participation in the World Championship," says Guilio Paterno, the Marketing Director at Kebhouze, London, as quoted in "The Sun".

Kebhouze's menu offers a variety of kebabs and more. They also serve burgers, fries, nuggets, and a sweet bun with Nutella. Branches of this food chain can be found not just in London but also in Italy and Ibiza.

Rooney of Darts: Wayne Rooney & Darts

According to "The Sun", Luke Littler commenced his journey in the world of darts at just the tender age of one. Since then, he has demonstrated extraordinary progress, aptly showcased at this year's World Championship.

Littler is a devoted Manchester United fan, with his idol being Wayne Rooney. In England, he is touted as potentially the "darts equivalent of Wayne Rooney", with millions in fortune - as per "The Sun".
