Thus, Kevan Sullivan managed to break the record held by another football player until now. A footballer who became known mostly because of Football Manager, as he was considered one of the most talented players.
The reason, of course, for Freddie Andou who had played for the first time in a professional match with the shirt of DC United in its game against the San Jose Earthquakes in 2004 at the age of 14 years and 307 days.
Freddie Andou, who for a while also wore the jersey of Aris, even made the following post about the young Sullivan who broke his own record.
