Everton host Peterborough in the FA Cup third round tonight in a clash that will see Young face his son Tyler Young.
Speaking to Evertonfc.com, Young revealed how much it would mean to him, especially at Goodison Park.
“I’ve said it for numerous amount of years that if there was a possibility that we was able to play with each other or play against each other, it tops everything I’ve done in my career.
“Hopefully, come game day we’re able to get on the same pitch. I’ve said it since the draw came out – it would be a goosebumps moment for me.

“It’d be fantastic. Obviously, with it being the last season at Goodison Park as well, the history of the ground it comes with, just everything surrounding it is a bit surreal.
“It’s going to be incredible if it happens and hopefully, fingers crossed, it does. I have to say it’ll be a massive moment for Tyler as well.
“He’s just starting out in his career, so for him to be able to showcase his talents in a fantastic stadium in front of a sell-out crowd – the most fans he will have played in front of – would be fantastic.”
