Good and Bad Debuts


Recommended Posts

Few will remember this, but in my mind there's a runaway winner for bad debut.

 

1980-ish, a Second Division game, away at Chelsea, a certain Bruce Halliday makes his debut at centre back and we lose 6-0. The most nervous, error-strewn performance I can remember from a professional footballer.

 

I think Chris Waddle made his debut in the same game, but I can't remember a thing about him. We probably never got the ball into their half.

 

It's on Youtube somewhere......maybe as part of the Match of the 80's series. O0

Shearer's debut for Blackburn against Palace in '92 when he scored two screamers outside the box at Selhurst Park.

 

Didn't he get a Hat-trick on his Southampton debut vs Arsenal also?

and then anonymous on his newcastle debut.....fucking typical.

We can probably let him have that one in fairness :lol:

I seem to recall Jenas having a really good debut against the Mackems.

 

 

I'd just moved into the house and had no furniture other than a bean bag, but still had the big telly and sky sorted :)

 

I think Jenas made his debut against Southampton? 3-1 win..
