Gary Neville has been accused of being 'disrespectful' towards Luke Littler following the darts star's recent appearance on the Stick to Football podcast.
Littler sat down with Neville, Roy Keane, Jill Scott, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright to discuss his exploits at the oche over the past year or so.
During the podcast appearance, Neville decided to quickly grill Littler on his mental maths.
"If I give you three random numbers, could you give me finishes straight away?" said the Manchester United legend, with Ian Wright sighing in response.

Now, former darts star Colin Lloyd has accused Neville of being 'disrespectful' - insisting the 50-year-old was wrong to ask the question.
"I actually thought that was a disrespectful question," the former darts star told talkSPORT.
"Quite simply because, of course we'd b****y know, we are professional darts players. Our game is numbers.
"It would have been like [asking] Gary Neville: 'If I kicked a ball towards the goal, do you think you could slide-tackle in and clear it off the line?'.

"Yeah, of course he could, he's a defender. Why did you ask him about numbers then?
"Was it Ian Wright who turned around and said: 'He could call any number out against us, we wouldn't know'. Do your research!
"Don't sit there and say he could be saying anything and you wouldn't know.
"How unprofessional did they make themselves look?

"How much are they disrespecting the sport of darts through not doing their homework?"
Also during the segment, Littler was asked about one day potentially surpassing Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles.
The 18-year-old claimed the first of his career back in January when he defeated Michael van Gerwen to win the World Darts Championship.
Littler still has a long way to go.

But the teenager seems up for the challenge, as long as his appetite for success remains high.
There's a record there to be broken, but it's going to take some doing.
"He also won the World Matchplay 16 times, so he's won two of the big majors 16 times. It'll take some doing.
"It [the competition] is a lot better now. You still had Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow... it was still a good field, but, nowadays, I think Phil would struggle."
