Jack Wilshere became the youngest player to represent Arsenal in League football when he came off the bench on Saturday at Blackburn.
The midfielder was 16 years 256 days when he replaced Robin van Persie in the 81st minute at Ewood Park.
This broke the Premiership record set by Cesc Fabregas (17 years, 103 days at Everton in 2004) and the League best by Gerry Ward (16 years 321 days, Huddersfield T (h) in 1953).
However the Spaniard remains the youngest player to represent the club.
Fabregas made his debut in a Carling Cup tie against Rotherham in 2003 when he was 16 years 177 days.
