10 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Ivan Toney
9. Toney Became The Youngest Player Ever To Represent Northampton Town
When Ivan Toney came on as a substitute at the beginning of extra-time in Northampton Town's 3-3 draw against Bradford City at Valley Parade in the FA Cup first round on November 13th 2012, he became the youngster player ever to represent the Cobblers at the age of 16 years and 273 days. Toney played a part in Kelvin Langmead's goal - which put the away side 3-2 up with 11 minutes to go - but Carl McHugh equalised at the death for Bradford to force it into a penalty shout. Northampton lost 4-2 on penalties, but Toney was not put forward to take one.
