After watching Seagulls Player lowlights of Tuesdays game, and not blaming Smith for any of the goals, has any goalkeeper let in as many goals on their debut.

I think they played Peterborough and it was 9-1 but the principle was definitely right. Barnet are my local club so I remember it happening and have a feeling that Barnet's goal may have been an own goal (so Peterborough scored all 10).

In the 70's we had a lad come on as sub, and he let in everything that came at him.
One ball actually came straight at him and he fell backwards followed by the ball he'd just dropped. Awful and embarrassing. I doubt he ever played another professional match!

The poor bloke still has nightmares about this game (allegedly) & it it stops him from getting a good kip to this very day. Quite litterally, it's a case of RUST NEVER SLEEPS.

I remember a game on Match of the Day from about 1979, when QPR played Burnley, the visitors had a 17 year-old goalkeeper making his debut.
QPR won 7-0. Even though only one of the goals was down to him, he still left the field in tears.

Who was our young keeper in the Grimsby away match on Valentines Day in 2004?
Stuart Jones I think?
Anyway he got bundled into the net for one of their goals and let the ball under his body for the other ... a disaster!
Think it was only his second match for us

Andy Goram would probably rather forget his return to Oldham. He let in seven as Cardiff City ran riot in February, 2002. He then went on to let in five on his debut for Scottish side, Elgin City.

I am sure John Sullivan got booked before he made his debut. Was away at some northern town (possibly Oldham) and he was booked as an unused sub
