Arsenal’s Dowman presented with three Guinness World Record plaques
Arsenal’s wonderkid Max Dowman was presented with three Guinness World records certificates following a breakthrough year at the Emirates.
The Guinness World Record official X account announced Dowman as the latest entrant into the prestigious list.
Dowman was presented the awards after he became the Youngest football player to win the Premier League at 16 years 144 days; youngest goalscorer in the English Premier League at 16 years 73 days, and youngest player in the Uefa Champions League at 15 years 308 days.
Following the recognition, Dowman is also expected to be featured on the opening player profile in the Guiness World Records’ Football Edition 2027’s Class of ’27.
He features alongside the likes of Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer and Kylian Mbappe.
Tom Beckerlegge, Senior Editor of Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, described Dowman’s feat as extraordinary.
He said: “The youngest player on our list, Max sums up what the Class of ’27 is all about. To have already achieved three Guinness World Records titles before turning 17 is extraordinary, and his story captures exactly why this generation of players is so exciting.”
