The Warrington teenager has set Alexandra Palace alight over the last fortnight on his tournament debut and was one win away from producing one of the greatest sporting stories of all time by becoming the youngest world darts champion.

But he fell at the final hurdle and was left in tears as Humphries showed why he is the new world number one with a scintillating 7-4 victory, which saw him lift the Sid Waddell trophy for the first time.
