Best debuts
« on: February 05, 2017, 10:24:37 AM »
In recent times, our new signings have generally been less than impressive on their debuts, accentuated even more this season.

Whilst average or poor debuts seem to proliferate, it made me think, when did a new player seriously impress on his debut?

I thought Hogan was pretty impressive last night, showed plenty of promise.

Yup, he wasn't bad in that Intertoto match against Dukla Pribram.

The first albums from the Clash, Jam and Pistols all had a lasting effect on me.

Dion Dublin, got 2 against Spurs on his debut.  Dublin had a great start to his Villa career got a hat-trick the following week against Southampton and then another 2 at home to Liverpool.

Dean Saunders home debut was one to remember I think his actual debut was away at Leeds though.

Simon Stainrod, 4 in a 4-1 win albeit against Exeter in the early rounds of the League Cup, 1985/86.

Didn't Alpay get man of the match on his debut (away at Leicester, I think)?

Not 100% certain but didn't Ian Taylor score on his debut at the Holte End & it was the 1st game in front of the new Holte as it is today .
