Memorable debuts (35 replies)

Seeing the thread about Lakin made me think of some of our most memorable debuts. Most aren't particularly special, but occasionally you get one that lives longer in the memory. Those that spring immediately to mind are:

Tony Coton v Sunderland - saved a first minute penalty with his first ever touch of the ball for Blues
Paul Hart v Plymouth - broke his leg after half an hour. Never played for us again
Kenny Lowe v Charlton - 30 yard screamer
Ricky Otto v Cambridge - scored both goals in a 1-1 draw
Chris Marsden v Wolves - scored the winner against his former club
Stan Lazaridis v Fulham - 25 yard free kick to equalise
Thomas Myhre v Wolves - saved a penalty
Aliou Cisse v Arsenal - sent off (thanks to Ashley Cole cheating)
Cameron Jerome v Colchester - sent off
Tomasz Kuszczak v Reading - saved an injury time penalty

I'm sure there are plenty of others!
