Records tumble in the EFL Trophy as Axel Donczew becomes Cardiff City's youngest player of all time.
John Toshack held the record of being Cardiff City's youngest player for 42 years. Aaron Ramsey then had the honour for 18 years. Rob Tankiewicz? Just 64 minutes.
Midfielder Tankiewicz started in Tuesday's EFL Trophy match against Newport County at the age of 16 years and 117 days.
That saw him break the record set by Wales captain Ramsey, who made his Cardiff debut at 16 years and 123 days old in 2007, to surpass John Toshack's previous mark from 1965.
But just as Tankiewicz was getting used to his achievement, Cardiff replaced him with Axel Donczew, even younger at 15 years and 234 days.
Both are attacking midfielders, products of the Bluebirds' academy and Wales youth internationals, though they both qualify to play for Poland.
