Worst Everton debut


Stefan Rehn, came on as a sub, subbed off. He was turbo turd
Actually met him as he got off the plane at Manchester airport when we signed him, I was working there at the time.
He was with another player who's name escapes me we signed at the same time.
Nice fella , but just wasn't up to it.

Joe Harper scored for fun for Hibs , was really excited to get him, he missed a pen on his debut for us, never really looked the part after that either.
Think he went back up to Scotland and stared to score again.
 

Shocking day only time I didn't go the pub after the match
I was with the Dublin ESC, and we used to come overnight on the Friday sailing and go back on the Saturday.

It was really grim waiting around for the ship back at 10.15 pm.

When we boarded we found the ship full of Loyalist rs from Belfast who had been accommodated on ours because P&O to Belfast had gone on strike.

We had a horrible night as those barstewards roared their kopite dirge and Loyalist triumphalist songs all night.
If you watch the highlights on page 3 of this thread you will see that it was only 0-1 at HT. To be fair, I would have guessed 0-2 or 0-3.
My memory is playing strange tricks with me - put it down to post match trauma even 43 years later !!

I do remember lads in the Street end being really angry at HT and some tearing up the match programme.

In fact it was 0-3 after 55 minutes, I thought it was by HT we were so overwhelmed.
 
Glenn Keeley - Goodison Park on 6 November 1982
Keeley truly made his mark. Allowing Kenny Dalglish to get the wrong side of him, Keeley pulled the Liverpool forward back by his shirt, and with the professional foul rule recently introduced, referee Derek Civil had no option but to send off the debutant. After just 37 minutes, Keeley’s Everton career was already over.

It wasn't just the sending off. It was the 5-0 thrashing that went with it. The sight of the RS in the old Park End with the scarves raised and singing their dirge of a song still boils me to this day. Keeley is up there with the slug as an all time Everton villain!

I can’t believe there is any other answer that this .

I will say I sat and watched per kodlrup at villa in what I think was his debut and his performance was horrendous.
 

The post you quoted tells us that it was November 6. It was a 3pm kick-off so not on TV. In the evening my wife and I had an engagement party and, of course, her family were all RS.
Sorry Sir, I should have noticed the date, 2 days off my birthday. After some quick research I may have mixed this game up with a 3-0 loss at Anfield the next season on the same date which was on tv on the Sunday.
