It was a quick start for Humphries, who took a two-leg lead, but Littler fought back to make it 2-1. He levelled it, then levelled it up to 2-2, before turning it around to take three legs in a row and make it 3-2.
Cool Hand opened up a lead again to make it 5-3, and then 6-3. At the break, he held a 6-4 lead.
Again, Littler fought back to make it 7-7 in an enthralling final. The two were unable to be separated until the Nuke broke Humphries’ throw to go make it 10-9 and go one leg away from victory.
Humphries hit back straight away to take it to a final leg, with him having the throw. But it was Littler who took it on a double 20 to win the title for the second time.
Speaking to Sky Sports after lifting the trophy, an emotional Littler said: “It’s been a rollercoaster, the first four weeks, bottom of the table, and then the fifth night, I won my first night.
“I had to pick myself up, some tough times, I went to Brighton, I had a 79 average or something and it was tough, I was down bad, but yeah, I’m here with the trophy. “
Humphries stepped in to deliver his reaction. “You can see with Luke there, it’s emotional, to be in the finals, it just shows you how much it means for us as players.
“This is what you do everything for, you want that trophy, because you come back and you’re like, it was all worth it in the end. Maybe that’s why you see the emotion from Luke there, it’s really, really hard.
“I was just unlucky today, I played well, a great final. I don’t know the stats but one of the best finals the Premier League has seen.”
After composing himself, Littler added: “After Brighton and the incident in Manchester (with Gian van Veen), I was sat at home saying to Faith (Millar, his partner) ‘I don’t want to do it anymore, just the crowd every week’. I said to her ‘I’m down bad’,” before breaking down again.
