"I DON'T WANT ANIMOSITY TOWARDS HIM" | Luke Humphries raw on Premier League final defeat to Littler 

This dude Luke Humphries is a class act.

Brilliant player and humble in defeat. Him n Littler will go back n forth for years.

Luke Humphries is a wonderful darts player but an even more impressive human being. It takes huge class & dignity to speak so sincerely about an opponent in defeat & he does so every time I hear him.

Who doesn't love Luke Humphries. Even greatly respectful in defeat. Humble Humphries definitely

Luke Humphries is such a nice person well spoken.

Nobody can deny Luke's talent he's top drawer and after that press conference nobody can deny what an absolutely lovely honest straight up man he is.

Luke Humphries is a great darts player and an absolute gentleman .. his demeanor is a shining example to all up and coming sportsmen and sportswomen.

Every comment is so positive towards Luke Humphries. l feel like playing Devils advocate and slagging him off but l can't. He is absolutely a class act and a gentleman.

What a great attitude - honest, intelligent, calmly confident and happy

Luke is such a gentleman...what a great role model.

Hurting with humility, what a guy, I'm 100 percent sure there will be more 2 Luke finals, well done Mr Humphries, class act!

This is what a Gentleman is. He is without a doubt one of the best interviewers in the sport. This was the sway to make me a fan. Such a class act!

Such wise and well thought out words. So easy to like and respect this man

Both Luke's have given darts the big bang .. amazing both of them

He mite have lost, you think so, true champ. Great words.

Love this guy. Grounded and a true gentleman.

Ultimate professional 👏 👌

Form is temporary, class is permanent

Very humble. Class act humphries. Him and Littler will win bags between them

What a fantastic interview. He's such an inspiration, not just for the world of darts but for the whole world populous. He speaks so candidly without malice, hate, bitterness, or jealousy but with genuine grace, compassion, warmth, friendship, kindness, and happiness, even in defeat. Luke Humphries is a true gentleman, world champion and one hell of an advocate for what human decency looks like, even in defeat. Fair play lad. You did the North proud ❤

The gentleman of darts.

Cracking interview from a cracking guy! What a thoroughly decent human being. Good luck to the pair of them going forward. A great time to be a darts fan 👌🏼

love Littler this guy tho is an absolute legend, soo much respect for him, the skills the attitude the love for the game, look forward to the many battle the two will have.

Wow what a great interview, 100% full credit to Luke humphries, loved how humble he was in defeat, and how he applauded the 9 darter.Don’t normally comment on RU-vid, but this guy is pure classs 👍

What a lovely guy! Well done!!

He says the 9 darter didn’t negatively impact his game after, and you can clearly see the only thing it did was keep a grin on his face on his next visit. He didn’t get the cool stare back until after that. Just enjoying the final, against a great player, both playing well, and a 9 darter to boot. That’s basically the rush any player should be wanting from the game. So good to watch!

Luke is amazin👏👏👏

True sportsmanship 🤝

Luke Humphreys - class act 👍

I love how Humphries is like Littlers proud older brother

A champion and sportsman.

This has been the best premiere league there has been and a big thanks to all the players involved in it

To echo what many have said in the comments: Luke Humphries really is a classy guy, so magnanimous in defeat. A great, great Dart player, too.

Luke H is class in both victory and defeat. A great ambassador for darts.

True gentleman

The most gracious champion even after a tough loss. What a fucking treat of a dart player and a person. Hats off.

Take a bow Luke Humphries. Class act!

This guy seems like a class act

Gentleman and glad Humphries is at the top of darts where he deserves

Can't fault Humphries, praises Littler in defeat great guy

Such a kind and thoughtful gentleman Luke Humphries is. I have a lot of respect for him. Congratulations to Luke The Nuke Littler for winning the Premier League!

Luke is a classy young man and a great ambassador for darts

Top bloke Luke Humphries, if only all sportsmen were like him, he is spot on what he said, he was unstoppable in the worlds final and tonight it was littler turn

What a nice guy Humphries is true champion class act

Great to see so many people appreciating a humble sportsperson. So easy for people to sit here being keyboard warriors but.. makes a change to see so many good comments.

Who would say that two Lukes would dominate world of darts :D 100% 2 best players at the moment

rooting for humphries, hes bloodywell fantastic.

Fair play to Luke humphries , the whole interview , every journo ( I walked away) speaks about Luke littler not him ,I love luke littler but this is the luke Humphries interview not the Luke Littler show morons much respect to him to contain his composure 👍

Luke Humphries and nathan aspinall are the nicest guys in darts

Pure class this man.

Words of a true champ and sportsman.

He'll win it again, him and Littler will be back and forth through the years, what a great era of darts this is going to be!

Top bloke,brilliant in defeat,brilliant at winning.superb professional ❤

He's all class..

Top man much respect

Think people forget lukes world number 1 and world champion. Gracious in victory and defeat.

Luke Humphries is a true professional, but people should recognise that Luke Littler has taken the sport to another level, like Phil Taylor did. Littler is the reason why so many people are rushing out to buy darts again, start the sport, get more tv coverage and will start to see prize money increase more and more. Littler benefits everyone involved in the game. Is their jealousy because he doesn’t do things the conventional way. There are no rules to say he has to or should do. He goes for what he fancies, and this is entertainment .

Class Act. What a player.

Classy interview

Top bloke Luke Humphries👍

Luke Humphries is a fair player, very skilled, respectful and humble. The best qualities in a World Champion.

Lovely guy, great player x

Love ❤️ both players... Great 👍 enjoyable atmosphere

Top class Luke. Must be hard to keep your composure when they ask such stupid questions. They have no idea how the game works. My best friend and myself used to play for hours and hours each day. He was better than me when we started but he improved my game. I also improved his game because when I could beat him he wasn't happy 🤣

Absolute gentleman

Good lad,well spoken.tip my hat to you young man.

Dignified

Pure C L A S S this chap!

Top man very articulate

What a class man luke is humble in defeat top fella

Luke Humphries is a true sportsmen.

What a guy

Great sportsman'ship personified.Both winners.👍

Great player just needs to stop showing opponents his emotions when they are negative as all it does is boost the opponent 🔥👌👍 Class act of a guy and a world class player 👏

Great fellow 👏👏👏

Well done to the winner ❤

Fair play cool hand a good asset to the sport gracious on this defeat on to the next one 💪

Love Humphries and really wanted him to win but Littler was just brilliant on the day. These two will have many, many battles in the future and they can go either way on the day.

I can only echo the comments and sentiments of my fellow correspondents !

Great sport he is

Pure clas pity your fellow pro's can't take the same path

Class act from a worthy world champion
