Yesterday, first year scholar Luca Scanlon came on as a substitute in the 82nd minute for Gibraltar against the Faroe Islands. He came on for his older brother James.
I’m sure he must be our youngest ever full international.

Re: Burnley’s youngest full international
That will increase his value, when the likes of City, Utd and Lpool prise him from us.

Re: Burnley’s youngest full international
I think Luca is now also Gibraltar's youngest-ever full international.
An article from 2012 said that Cameron Howieson (New Zealand) would become Burnley's youngest international, and he was 17 at the time, so yeah, Scanlon is probably the record holder now.

Has been back in pro football just 1 season, after a few years playing at semi-pro level.
Was with us maybe 3 or 4 years after Lafferty if I recall correctly

Re: Burnley’s youngest full international
Cameron was a scholar at Burnley from 2011 to 2013 and then two years as a pro. After a year at St Mirren he returned to New Zealand and spent some years playing for Auckland City before moving to new club Auckland to play in the Australian league.Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 9:54 amWhatever happened to Cameron Howieson ? a contemporary of Kyle Lafferty is my memory is ok

Re: Burnley’s youngest full international
He can't sign a professional deal until his 17th birthday which won't be until July next year - but he's currently on a two year scholarship with us.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 10:27 amDoes the fact that he has signed a contract with us make him more difficult to get poached?

Seems he moved back to Auckland, played semi-pro (Auckland didn't have a pro team at that time, the team he was playing for was the one that went to the Club World Cup recently) but still got some international caps and then when Auckland got a pro team he moved there.
