Another Darts player has incurred a serious life threatening injury that will end his carrier as he has been placed on life….

Even while Alexandra Palace is a true monument to the pleasures of snooker and darts, there’s one characteristic that consistently trips up players who compete there.

The location, referred to as Ally Pally with affection, has played host to Luke Littler’s meteoric climb to stardom as the 16-year-old has won the World Darts Championship.

Littler will want nothing to derail him from his game as he advances to the semi-finals tonight, January 2, and definitely not the curse of Ally Pally, which has caused numerous injuries over the years.

Of course, we are referring to the dreadful wasps that continually torment competitors there.

Littler claims that during a game of darts, a wasp stung his arm, and he is not alone in having this insect-related injury at Ally Pally.

While Ross Smith was interviewing for Sky Sports, the notorious Ally Pally wasp chose to exploit a stationary object.

He had just finished talking about how much his game had progressed in the last few years when he looked down at his arm and attempted to brush something off.

“There it is—the wasp!” The 34-year-old exclaimed, “He’s just done me, he’s stung me like a good’un, little b****r, cor,” following the wasp’s attack on his arm.

Smith ended the interview after being stung by the wasp several times, which is supposedly a lucky charm even though it doesn’t feel that way.

Afterwards, he revealed that the Ally Pally wasp had stung him three times, thankfully not on the arm where he threw darts, unlike Luke Littler who had the unfortunate displeasure of feeling something on his hand.

These days, getting stung by an Ally Pally wasp is just part of the job; many people have experienced stings over the years.

When Mark Williams was playing snooker with David Gilbert last year, the wasp attacked him. Gilbert was so bothered by it that the referees had to try to help.

Ben Williams, the snooker referee from 2020, was stung by an Ally Pally wasp after he had snagged the invasive insect to prevent it from interfering with the game.

Meanwhile, the dreaded bug has stung a number of darts players over the years.

The Ally Pally wasp is part of a dynasty dedicated to maintaining the basic reality that wasps are terrible little s**ts, as they don’t genuinely live that long.
