Not a fan of the casual racism in the replies. Wouldn't be making "he's not 16" jokes as much if he was white. He's English born and his dad's English so the comments are pathetic tbh.


He wasn’t even born when Rooney was tearing it up at the euros

and yes some of those comments are horrible. Only black players who get the he looks 30 shouts, never white players. And it’s said without even considering that the lad and his family are going to be reading every single post about him. Made his debut and fans are doubting his age and using casual racist tropes

No when it was Rooney it was he’s built like a man

when they’re black it’s he’s 30! It’s insecurity and it’s prejudice


Imagine seeing a 3-0 win, Small and Onyango making their debuts with Small becoming the clubs youngest ever player.

Instead of enjoying the moment...what do you do?
 

Will he go on to match the career progression of former record holder José Baxter?

José now age 28 plays for a Memphis, Tennessee side in a US second tier league (but no promotion or relegation allowed in the States from any second tier league)

Hopefully will fare a little better then but shows the precarious path to the top level and how stuff (on and off the pitch) can derail it.
