Watched Milner (37yrs) playing with Ferguson (19yrs) for Brighton last night and wondered which ITFC players, with the biggest age difference, played together for us.
We have had 16 year olds play for us so guessing that a greater age difference than 18 years is possible.
Anyone know the answer? |  | | |  |

I think it's possible that a near retirement Warky may have played alongside a 17 year old Richard Wright but not 100% sure. That'd have to be a contender.
Edit - My restless mind made me check. Warky played on Wright's debut. Warky was 37, Wright 17. 20 years and a few months between them. [Post edited 3 Jan 19:15]

Twenty year difference. Hard to beat.

Only other one I wondered about was Connor Wickham who made his debut at 16 with Ivan campo in the team. Think Campo was 36 at the time. So another 20 year difference. |  | | |

Only about 15 years between Dozzell and the older players | | | |

John Jackson was 39 years and 7 months when he played his one and only game for us in April 1982 v Man Utd. I was there but can't remember our team that night so don't know who our youngest player on the pitch was. |  | | |

I thought of him – it seems like the youngest player on the pitch for us that day was Steve McCall, born in 1960.

I was also thinking about Keogh playing in cup matches last season alongside one or two youngsters but that would have only been around a 17-year age gap.
What may have been the greatest age gap came on 12th January 1952 in the FA Cup – we drew 2-2 with Gateshead at Portman Road in the third round, and Mick Burns (b. 1908) played his final game in goal for us at the age of 43 years and 219 days, with the youngest player on the pitch for Ipswich being John Elsworthy (b. 1931), a mere 21 years and 170 days old. This made for a gap of 22 years and 49 days. I'm not sure if it is the greatest, and there might have been some other games that Burns played in around that time where we fielded players younger than Elsworthy, but I looked at that one as it was Burns' last match for Ipswich and he is the oldest player in our history.

Did Bowditch play in the same team as Tony Mowbray. If so that must have been close to 20 years - bowditch played at 16. As did wickham no? |  | | |

Andre Dozzell was 16 when he made his (goal scoring) debut at Hillsbrough in a 1-1 draw in 2016.
He replaced Jonathan Douglas who must’ve been in his 60’s. |  | | |

Don’t think Jonathan Douglas would’ve managed 0-60 in that time. |  |

I seem to remember John Elsworthy’s début was the answer to this one - if you Google Town’s team on that day you should find someone more rheumatic than Warky, Parky etc. | |
