Best Albion Debut ??

[Spunk Bubble]

Mine would go to Danny Wilson in the 3-1 win against Cardiff City at the Goldstone in December 1983. Two goals including a back heel from what I've heard !!. Brilliant midfielder and captain for the Albion !

Remember Brian Wade getting 4 v Newcastle in i think his second game. I think his debut was away to Wolves and he scored there as well.

Molango!

Howabout a player who scored before the ink was dry on the team sheet?

How many seconds was it? 52 or summat?

 

[Icy Gull]

Peter Ward, came on and scored, the rest is history

Gary Elphick did well, despite us losing 5-1 and getting sent off

Darren Freeman.

A Hat-trick, a 6-0 win, and our first (competitive) game back in Brighton!

Ahem.

Alan Duffy. Alan Duffy. Alan Duffy. Alan Duffy.

Zesh Rehman, a beauty of a goal on debut against Rushden.

We knew he had to be good putting Fred Binney in the shade, and the other side had the renowned Dixie McNeil. And who was the best striker in Division 3, Dixie McNeil or Fred Binney?

Gawd knows how many were at Hereford, the ground was bursting at the seams with 18,000 or so and Albion had already blown promotion.

Can tell a good player from his first touch of the ball and before the minute was up Wardy "had shot he scored it must be ...". McNeil handballed in an equaliser.

Wardy did not do much the rest of the match though.

Tony Towner's debut against Luton when the Albion had lost 13 games on the trot and were bottom of the table was impressive.

Must be other better. I mised Kit Napiers two goals in a 5-2 win against Peterborough. The most eagerly awaited debut was Bobby Smith against barrow when 20,000+ turned up for a Fourth Division game. Followed by 22,000+ the following Tuesday against Oxford United.

kuipers has never done anything wrong in his albion career, so i imagine his debut was IMMENSE
