‘If you’re good enough you’re old enough’: Social media goes wild over 15-year-old’s historic feat

Mohamed Toure tore up the history books when the 15-year-old became the A-League’s youngest-ever scorer for Adelaide United on Friday night.

His history-making strike brought the house down at Coopers Stadium and also sent fans wild on social media.

From people comparing his feats at 15 to their own lifestyles at that tender age, to thoughts about the future of Australia’s national teams – here’s the best of the reaction!

Murray Shaw tweeted “I have things at the back of my fridge older than Mohamed Toure! What a story and what a joy to watch”

Fox Football’s Adam Peacock said “When I was 15 I was doing a paper run”.

There was plenty of love for the brotherly duo of Mohamed and Al Hassan, his 19-year-old fellow forward.

Bas Bolyn tweeted “How good is this!? Toure (15) signing Toure’s (19) shirt. Hope more teams keep trusting & giving some of this prodigiously talented youth a crack.”

Robert Smith said “Along with injured elder brother Al Hassan – already an Olyroo – the Toure brothers promise to give the #ALeague the shot of adrenaline it needs, both have huge energy, dynamism and star power, the Reds are well set for the future with them under Dutch coach Gertjan Verbeek.”
