Ben Woodburn and Liverpool's youngest ever goalscorers

On this day in 1999, a Liverpool FC record-breaker was born.

Ben Woodburn joined the club's Academy aged eight and by the time he was 17 had left indelible mark on the Reds' senior side.

Coming off the bench in a League Cup tie against Leeds United in November 2016, he applied the finishing touch to a sweeping Liverpool move to become the youngest goalscorer in the club's history.

He had a similar impact on the international stage too - earning the nickname 'The Prince of Wales' after scoring a sublime 25-yard winner on his debut for the Dragons in September 2017.
