Best City Debuts

[Bluescholar]

Trevor Francis at stoke. Discussion over.

 

[Combat Carl]

Aguero. Remember Kinky's though coming away thinking 'fuck me we've got a player here.'

 

[McfcBibby]

Close call between Ali B and Serge

 

[JGL07]

Bobby Owen at MR v I’ve forgotten. Scored a brilliant header. Went downhill after that.

It was in the Charity Shield against West Brom in 1968. He scored two goals in a 6-1 win. He came in for Tony Coleman.

Thanks. I remember a header but not much else in my dotage. I do remember being impressed but the promise was not fulfilled.

 

[Jogon 127]

Absolute bollocks, he was out for 6 weeks with a groin injury.

Ooh….bit harsh. I stand corrected thanks for that though mate

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

For us older blues I give you Barney Daniel’s seen to remember he scored a hat trick on his home debut thought we have a cracking prospect here and so did most of the kippax,did absolutely bugger all after The joys of watching city

Was it not 2 goals against Leicester at home ?

It may have been it could be my old mind playing tricks

 

[Gingers Dad]

Seem to remember Gary Mason having a blinder in the first game of the 98-99 season at home to Blackpool.

Unfortunately, he very quickly disappeared without a trace after less than half the season, if memory serves me correctly.

Lad near me hated him with a passion. Could only think Mason must have shagged his girlfriend

Ali Bernarbia

 

[oldhamblue]

I remember watching Sylvan Distin in his first game at home and thinking he was a Rolls Royce of a centre half

 

[Bluemoon115]

Honourable mention for Shay Given.

Made three fantastic saves against Boro to secure the 1-0 win.

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

 

[Blue Feather]

Not sure if already mentioned but I was at the Madrid CL game where I'm pretty sure Nastasic made his debut? Baptism of fire for a 19 year old if so !!

 

[Maly]

Ali Bernarbia. No one knew who he was, bossed the game, subbed at half time if I remember rightly.

His first touch in the game was immense, right on the touchline, took the absolute piss. I think everyone in the stadium knew we’d signed a proper player as soon as he touched the ball

Quality player.

Unless I’m misremembering. I think it was Bianchi having a good debut at West Ham away. It was a really exciting time that season with all the new Sven signings
