Substitute cubed +

[JASR]

Whilst checking the scores on bbc website, came across the fact that Luxembourg had done a substitute…that was also then substituted… a substitute squared if you will.
Now that’s a fairly common occurrence if my failing memory …err.. remembers.

But how often does a substitute of a substitute of a substitute occur…if at all?

Something to take peoples minds off the 10x10 + 3x5 thread

I recall Ashley Ward coming on as a sub for for City and was then later subbed.
Think it was Millwall away in the cup.
In fairness he came on quite early in the game and I think it was extra time when he was brought off.

I think if a manager subs a sub's sub then maybe that manager isn't getting it right and should be subbed himself.

Have you been smoking that gear again?

that's just a sub squared... a sub of a sub.

I was wondering about a sub cubed... a sub of a sub of a sub

I know! Lol but I couldn’t think of any

I'm guessing that the only times it might have happened is when a match goes to extra time, and/or penalties (final sub for a penalty taker), with a lot of injuries!

Not really what the op asked but the most famous substituted substitute has to be that bloke who claimed to be George Weah's cousin and got a game for Southampton. Pretty sure he only lasted about 10 minutes before being hauled off again. Not sure what happened to the player who replaced him but that could be a possibility.

Ali Dia. What a story.

City did a sub squared in our last league game:
Savinho substituted for Bernardo Silva at 58 minutes then by Foden 76'.

Off the top of my head can’t think of a sub cubed but I’m sure it will have happened.

Amazingly it took 53 minutes for Ali the sub to be subbed! Sadly in the 85th minute, so sub of a sub of sub didn't occur.

That's incredible. I didn't know that. For some reason it was in my head that they'd clocked him pretty much straight away. He played nearly an hour! Phenomenal.

Extra time, you know, in an FA Cup replay when the score is equal after 90 minutes….
