Inspired about a recent article on the worst debuts, I started thinking about the best debuts.
Rafael certainly impressed when he made his first competetive against Boro in the League Cup.
I remember this board was buzzing after that.
Nani had a inauspicious start in his first game, which was a home loss to Man City, but he certainly made up for it in his second game, when he scored THAT rocket against Spurs.
Rooney made one hell of a statement of intent with his hat-trick against Fenerbahce and who can forget a young Portuguese winger tormenting a hapless Bolton defence? Ronaldo announced himself by putting defenders on their bums.
Who else do you think had great debuts in English football?
