Brian Little made his debut on this day in 1971 according to the OS. any H and V posters there?
Yes if it was home to Torquay - I think he scored and so did Lochead we won 5-1 and wrapped up the championship (of the third division)

I was there as well. This picture of Brian's first league goal for Villa is from the Chesterfield programme.

The only debut I can remember is that of Alan O'Neill - signed from Sunderland IIRC - made his debut against the Blues at home - scored twice in a 6-2 win

Oct 22 1960

I was at that one too.  Also on the Insignificant Players thread we were discussing, another debut I was at was, Cammie Fraser!

I was at Brian Little's debut vs Torquay. Scored one & set up Andy Lochead's opener. Also saw Willie Anderson's vs Spuds 3-3 in which he scored with a thunder bolt shot.
