Worst Everton debut

[Jokerdan]

Kroldrup would be up there.

Remember Jags getting roasted by Arsenal in one of the first games he played Centre half for us.

Ooh, err Matron!

I think Alex Nyarko scored with a back-heel, in some pre season friendly at Goodison?

We all thought that we were getting a diamond, when in reality he was utter

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.

This is the right answer!

Glenn Keeley, close thread.

Glenn Keeley.
Still traumatised.
Bellend

Someone on here defended him.
Better than him....

Remember Peter Degn?

Rodrigol ('Rodrigo Beckham')(Rodrigo Juliano Lopes de Almeida) signed with a knee injury* which was missed on medical and ruptured a game in.

*Forsell, Gbamin, it's amazing how often history repeats itself round here...

When did Forsell play for us. I've either braindumped this or I'm losing the grey matter

Who could forget

We'd signed him and had him pic'd with the shirt only for shenanigans with the medical to turn up after the fact and suddenly a knee injury was found and scuppered the deal. A very peculiar episode in almost signed.

This, I'm sure it was live on TV , it was certainly around my birthday when I was a little kid, November time? cemented Ian Rush as a bogeyman

Genuinely no recollection of that.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Besic? Wasn't he making his league debut as a sub vs chelsea and tried a smart arse back heel to gift Diego Costa the 6th?

Genuinely no recollection of that.

Birmingham on brink of Forssell deal

Everton's cold feet about dodgy knees leaves the way open for Birmingham to complete the signing of Mikael Forssell.

Get the double dose of pain in that article.

And you know what really sucks... Walter wanted Flo before he signed for chelsea. Dark days back then, your memory is trying to protect you.

Mike milligan.
Ran the midfield for Joe Royles Oldham in that decent side he had. Paid a lot of money for him by 1990 standards.
First game. Played like he'd put on two left footed boots.
He never improved either.

I was probably stoned back then.

I mean, Arteta had a proper shaky debut, vs Saints if I recall rightly. Nothing to suggest he'd be all that
