LUKE LITTLER paraded his World Darts Championship trophy in front of Manchester United fans at half-time at Old Trafford.
The Nuke – the sport’s youngest world champion aged 17 – was the guest of honour for the club's Premier League clash against Brighton.
The Warrington ace, a Man Utd super-fan, showed off the silverware to the 74,000-strong crowd at half-time, with the score at 1-1.
Littler beamed as he walked to the edge of the half-way line pitch-side and lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy three times above his head.
The United faithful serenaded the teenage sensation with his iconic "Walking in a Littler wonderland" chant while TV cameras zoomed in.
Littler, sporting jeans and a padded black coat, then gave one final lift, turning to both the Stretford End and East Stand, before heading back to his seat.
The world No2 was crowned the youngest ever world champ on January 3 after beating Michael van Gerwen in the Ally Pally final.
The trophy parade was moved from the pre-game to avoid a clash with the emotional tributes to former United and Scotland striker Denis Law.
United paid a heart-warming tribute to 84-year-old Law, whose death was announced on Friday.
Scottish pipers played out "The Flower of Scotland" United's starting line-up walked slowly next to Brighton's side.
