Best debut from a new signing?

[cityfanlee23]

Wasn’t Schlupps debut in a cup game where he scored a hattrick upfront? Lol

Also I remember Mark Davies looked a premier league player on his debut for us or his early couple of games when he came on loan. Absolutely ran the show as far as I remember.

Did Joe Waters score 2 on his debut against QPR in cup in 1974. Barry Davies wonderful commentary 

That’s what I was going to say… very memorable day

If ever a player played out of his skin, somehow far beyond the limits of his ability, it was Junior Lewis on debut v Chelsea.

 

It was 0-0 if memory serves and he was everywhere, telescopic limbs gobbling up the ball like hungry hippos, bossing the midfield.

 

Sadly, we nver saw that Junior Lewis again and he reverted to the mean which was far below Premier League standard.

Opened up this thread expecting this one.

 

Won 2-1. Mancini played a ball which remains, in my opinion, one of the best bits of football I've seen from a Leicester player live

Always feel sad talking about that Collymore Hat-trick game. I was there with some uni pals and we were unreal. I think that side would have given anyone a game. We really were on the brink of pushing the big boys. Then Collymore got injured, Heskey left, O’Neill left and it all turned to shit. Some team that was. X 

Until 2016, that team had been the best Lecester team I ever saw before or after.  Sunderland just couldn't cope with us.

 

And for one week only.  If memory serves (and it has already let me down once today) Heskey went pretty soon after, if not within the next week leaving us wondering what might have been,

Yeah I think it’s the best Leicester team I’ve ever seen in a one off game. The potential is what makes it so depressing for me.
