Rory Finneran makes Blackburn debut at 15

Rory Finneran made his debut for Blackburn Rovers at the age of 15 in their FA Cup win against Cambridge United.

The youngster was a late substitute in the 5-2 win yesterday.

The controlling midfielder replaced Sammie Szmodics in the 91st minute, who played an important role in the convincing 5-2 win with a hat trick.

Interestingly, Finneran came on without shirt sponsor Totally Wicked. That's a British company that sells vapes.

It is illegal in Great Britain to sell vapes to people aged 17 or under.
