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

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

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

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 :hehe:.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Great debuts

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.

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