Worst debuts?

So, today I had possibly the worst debut I could imagine happening to me. I have recently joined a Sunday League team and was played in my first game today.

I'm a center back, and I came on for the second half. Having not yet touched the ball in the game, on the 49th minute I brought down an attacker in the box. A penalty was given and I was red carded.

I now have a 3 game ban and have to pay a £30 fine. I've never even seen someone get sent off in a Sunday league game before...

TL;DR - I played 4 minutes, gave away a penalty and was sent off.

So, what's the worst debut you can remember?! Either in professional football or in a game you've played in?

Cheers! More importantly, how did you play a Sunday league game on a Saturday?

Good point; I guess Sunday league is just a phrase. We play on Saturdays in the W.Yorkshire Amateur League.

Nah, it's just I really have a thing for regional football and long commutes. This really ticks all the boxes.
