Discovered this weekend that my Dad's second cousin is David Gaskell at 16 years and 19 days Manchester United's youngest ever first team player when he appeared in the 1956 Charity Shield final.

He was in their first team squad for 13 years 1956 - 1969 during which he appeared in the 1962 FA Cup Semi Final against Spurs at Hillsborough and the 1963 FA Cup Final victory over Leicester at Wembley.
