13 years old and already a pro game: a teenager sets a new record for precociousness in British football

Entering the game at the end of the game, the young Christopher Atherton made his debut in the Northern Irish League Cup.


Young Christopher Atherton made British footballing history on Tuesday night.

Coming into play in the Northern Irish League Cup with the Glenavon club, the young teenager broke a record more than 40 years old.

Aged 13 and 329 days, Atheron was launched a year earlier than Eamon Collins, who made his debut aged 14 and 323 days for Blackpool in 1980.

But that's not all, since the young player trained at Glenavon even took care of his entry by delivering a decisive pass from the start... on his first touch of the ball.

History to conclude in beauty the beautiful evening of his team, easily qualified at the expense of Dollingstown (6-0) in the 16th finals.
