Young Alfie Devine made history with Tottenham by becoming, at 16 years and 163 days, the youngest player to make his first-team debut and also score a goal.
It was in the duel of the third round of the FA Cup, against the modest Marne, a team in the eighth category, when the midfielder, signed last summer from Wigan, then fifteen years old, made his debut under the command of
Jose Mourinho
.
Tottenham visited the Marine, in the eighth category, who wrote his own story.
An unprecedented event.
A Premier club against an eighth division club for the first time in the cuppers' 30th finals.
Devine started on the bench but at the break, with the score 0-4, he jumped onto the field in place of Frenchman
Moussa Sissoko
.
It took a quarter of an hour for the promising footballer to score.
In the 60th and after a good play by Brazilian
Lucas Moura
, Alfie Devine brought the ball into the net to sign Tottenham's fifth goal.
Devine made history.
He debuted with the Spurs first team.
No one ever made him so young.
Neither mark.
Alfie Devine did it before anyone else.
