Luca Williams-Barnett became the youngest ever player to appear for us in the Carabao Cup when he came on for his senior debut in Wednesday night's 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.
An Academy graduate, Luca was called to the pitch with 87 minutes on the clock, replacing Mathys Tel and at 16 years 11 months and 24 days, he stepped on the pitch as the youngest player to ever take to the field for us in the League Cup.
It breaks a record held by fellow Academy graduate and iconic Spurs full-back of the 1990s, Stephen Carr, who was exactly one month older when he made his debut in the competition against Burnley, 32 years ago this month.
While breaking the record, Luca also became the 900th player to ever make a senior appearance for the Club and thus has been assigned Legacy Number 900.
Youngest Spurs players to appear in the League Cup
While he became our youngest player in the League Cup, the forward did not break our all-time record across all competitions - an honour which still belongs to Alfie Devine, who is currently on loan at Preston North End in the Championship.
Alfie made his debut for the Club back in January, 2021, as he stepped off the bench at Marine in the FA Cup third round aged 16 years, 5 months and 9 days. That day, he also became one of just 109 players to score on their Spurs debut as he found the back of the net in the 5-0 win.
