I do a lot (and I mean a lot) of football quizzing, some of it has to stick!

I'd almost hit 100 when the page refreshed because I scrolled up too fast. Not bothering with that until BBC manage to fasten the answer box to the top of the screen no matter how far down the page you've got.

No, it's a very difficult one I thought so I'll give a few clues
He was 32
He was player manager
It was very short term

Scratch that.
Paul Jewell must've been younger.
Edit: @tototoner
Typed as you posted. Can't be Jewell then, but I'm thinking I'm right in my thinking that Jewell was younger than Giggs when managing in the prem for the first time.

I know this because I literally just listened to the Totally Football Show episode where this came up.
It was the 97/98 season and it was Attilio Lombardo for Crystal Palace.

Yeah if I hadn't heard it on that I would've answered someone like Eddie Howe who isn't even top 20!
Here's another teaser though. Who is the youngest ever PERMANENT manager of a PL club?
(As they were mentioned earlier, it isn't Jewell or Giggs)

AVB?

No, I can say AVB is third on this list so there are two who were even younger.

4 and 2 on this list respectively.
Chelsea have gone young a lot, but the man we're looking for has managed a club not far from there.

It is. He started out as caretaker but when hired permanently he was still a few months younger than Vialli who held the record previously.
