With Luke "The Nuke" Littler's ascendance to the throne as the new King of Darts - at just 17 years old! - the medieval pub game of darts is experiencing a renaissance. The game's popularity is continuing to rise, with more and more countries stepping up to the oche and growing interest among the younger generations. In the past 12 months alone, the number of youngsters in Britain playing darts has doubled, with 35 per cent of the nation now more interested in the sport than they were two years ago.
Of course, darts has always been popular, with legions of fans remaining loyal since its eighties heyday - who can forget Jim Bowen's Bullseye amassing more than 20 million weekly viewers when it was on TV? But now darts is in a new league all of its own, with people tuning into tournaments from across the globe. This little guide contains 180 fun and fascinating facts, quotes and stats about the new favourite sport, an intoxicating mix of precision throwing that suddenly turns into quick-fire maths. This tiny tome celebrates not only the game's latest rise to fame, but also its cherished 1,000-year history and the long list of players who have stood proudly at the oche, either down the pub or as professionals. With the World Darts Championship in December 2025 set to be the most viewed tournament ever, the world of darts is once again about to take flight. To quote the late, great Martin Fitzmaurice, "Are you ready? Ladies and Gentlemen... Let's... Play.... Darts!"
