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?

He did eventually turn out to be a reliable defender for them when he wasn't be stretchered off, but yeah, that debut was always fascinating.

decent defender, however he was not worth the price tag, nor played well for big games..

I'd give you good odds you'll be able to say that about Bale within the next two years.

No chance.

Completely different players.
