Incognito Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I saw Stuart Pearce's league debut in 1983 against QPR for Coventry,courtesy of a free ticket from school. He was the most obvious International of the future after one game I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Woodgate debuted at Real Madrid with an own goal and a red card.
