Great debuts

[EastbourneBlue]

As we count down to Sory Kaba firing us to glory at Hull, what goal scoring debutants do you remember?

For me:

Ritchie Humphies at the double v Colchester 1999

Dion Burton’s brilliant brace v Torquay

The great Leo Fortune-West with his backside v Halifax

And, of course, Uche at Barnsley a year ago today

[Mario Miethig]

Steven Thompson scored a couple v Burnley on his debut. I think?

[islandblue]

Adrian Alston v Chesterfield many moons ago

[blue lewj]

Dai Thomas scored a winner at Halifax away on his debut didn't he?

[blue lewj]

Steven Thompson scored a couple v Burnley on his debut. I think?

He did. Was in line with the second at the Grange End.

[ccfcwelshlad]

Ralls scored on his 'league' debut at Hull from what I can remember.

I also remember Parkin scoring an absolute screamer at Carrow Road on his debut .

[cyril evans awaydays]

Alan Warboys got a brace on debut and Robin Friday tore Fulham, including Bobby Moore, apart with a couple. Alas it was not to last.

[BLUETIT]

That Irish fella at Wolves

[BLUETIT]

Didn’t John Charles score a 50 yard free kick on his debut ?

I remember them both. Here's another one for the oldies - Johnny Vincent against the club that transferred him(Middlesbrough).

Johnny Vincent was the one I was just going to add.

Didn’t John Charles score a 50 yard free kick on his debut ?

Yes. It was a complete fluke that bounced in front of Kevin Keelan and went in off his shoulder. If he hadn't touched it, it wouldn't have counted because it was an indirect fk.

[Cyncoed Slumdog]

It has to be Neil O'Halloran who scored a hat trick against Charlton on his debut in 1955 and hardly played again.
He subsequently played for Barry and ended up owning them when they played in Europe.

[Rjk]

I seem to remember olofinjana looking a level above in his first couple of games, but that not lasting

[Disco Des]

Jason Koumas the first time round, the best im my lifetime.

[lardy]

Quincy looked like he was going to piss all over the division.

[lardy]

Ralls scored on his 'league' debut at Hull from what I can remember.

I also remember Parkin scoring an absolute screamer at Carrow Road on his debut .

That was about 7 minutes in, I think.

[the other bob wilson]

Phil Bater and Simon Lappin got sent off on their debuts - just saying like.

[Wash DC Blue]

Didnt Joe Ralls score a great goal on his debut?
I also remember watching Charlie Oatway play for the first time thinking he was going to he amazing :)

[fugsyphil]

I saw Alan Knill bag an og about 3 minutes into his debut away at York in 93

[WJ99mobile]

Quincy looked like he was going to piss all over the division.

And ended up doing nothing

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Jason Koumas the first time round, the best im my lifetime.

He was a class apart from anything on the pitch that day. His first touch was fantastic and his movement was sublime. He made the game look easy.
My thoughts after the game were how could WBA NOT see him in their plans?

He looked brilliant when he first came in. Did a mean ayatollah with snow too.

His last job was as Sporting Director at Grasshoppers. According to Wiki he resigned in June - so is available if Vincent gives him a call!

Kevin Ratcliffe.
