Great call. I thought we'd bought a belter.

If I remember correctly Nigel Callaghan had a good debut and scored against Sheff Wed. I can also remember getting a train to leicester as a kid to watch Steve Foster make his debut - we lost 2-0 and it wasn't up there with the best!

Brian Tiler against Cardiff on Boxing Day 1968.
Everything about this game was fantastic. Won 2-0 in front of over 41,000 on a semi frozen pitch, Barry Hole and Tiler with a header if I remember.

Mellberg at Spurs, I seem to remember him being absolutely brilliant

Actually so was Alpay at Leicester the year before, although after ten seconds he flew into a challenge a Collymore just flew past him, apart from that he was a rock that game

I remember Sasa Curcic debut,think it was Derby or Leeds at home,he ran the show,then when we drew nil nil at home against Utd and he was brilliant. I said to my old man as we were leaving the ground,'he could be our Cantona' boy did i regret saying that!

I remember Petrov being sensational in his debut at West Ham. He looked the complete midfielder and came close to a debut goal when he lobbed the keeper (if memory serves).

That was his home debut, his debut was the previous week at Leeds.

Dublin v Spurs takes some beating for me.

I thought we'd got the dream ticket with Dublin & Collymore with Merse behind them.

But it's a kind of debut so it half counts. (Bloody smart arse)

Another vote for Didier Six! Did nothing after his debut though did he?

Bernie Gallagher v Man U in a 3-1 defeat :)

Gareth Barrys debut at Hillsborough in 98, a great 4-1 win , Yorkey was unplayable.......
