The veteran full-back joined the Blues from Everton last month, returning to the second tier for the first time since he was a Watford player.
It was his first appearance at the level since the Hornets’ Championship play-off final in 2006, which was 19 years and 79 days before he featured for Town at St. Andrew’s in the 1-1 draw.
According to Opta Joe, that is the longest ever gap by a player between two appearances in the competition since it began in 2004/05.
Young joined Aston Villa from Watford in 2007, which preceded an extremely successful spell at Manchester United and a stint at Inter Milan before he returned to Villa Park in 2021.
The 40-year-old was given a hostile welcome by Birmingham fans on Friday night due to his Aston Villa connections, with Town scoring deep into stoppage time to rescue a point in their first game of the season.
