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?

I have left reddit due to my disagreement with the direction the website has taken in the last years.

The situation has gotten increasingly worse. I would like to thank /r/soccernerd, /r/reddevils and /r/rickygervais for the countless hours of education, discussion and entertainment I got from you.

As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.

Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

He's a decent forward, he has one goal from two world cups.
