Hudson-Odoi takes England record away from Man Utd icon Edwards

Chelsea whiz Callum Hudson-Odoi took away an England record from Manchester United icon Duncan Edwards on Friday.

Hudson-Odoi came on for his England debut last Friday night as he replaced hat-trick hero Raheem Sterling and played the final few minutes of a convincing 5-0 win against Czech Republic.

It was a moment the youngster will never forget, and a substitution which saw him replace an United legend in the history books.

Aged 18 years and 135 days old Hudson-Odoi became the youngest player in the history of the England national team to win his first cap in a competitive match, breaking the record held by Duncan Edwards since April 1955.

The legendary Busby Babe made his debut for the England national team in a match against Scotland in the British Home Championship.
