Debuts you have witnessed. Like live.

Joe Allen. Whilst playing cricket with him i always knew he was coming through the swansea youth but never knew just how good he was until i saw the surname on the bench one game. Didn't realise it was him at first, anyway when i went to watch the game vs blackpool, ended 3-6, he came on ... and the RS ruined him.

bit surreal watching someone you've known all your life becoming famous so to speak.

apparently hisdeaf brother has quiet good as well
 
Alaba & Muller at Bayern & Reus' Mönchengladbach debut, saw Messi's famous goal against Getafe live using my brothers season ticket and I think that was his first start, brother wasn't too happy lol

Sure there's some others with the line of work I was in, but they're the most significant I can think of.
 
Seen a few, these stand out
Tony Cottee hatrick debut versus Newcastle 1988. Still preferred Inchy but it was an ace debut.
John Stones in San Fran. Honestly it was obvious even then he was a class act. That penalty!!! Nice one lad.
Peter Beardsley away at Forest. Blazing sunshine in August. Never wanted to sign him because of his RS past but what a skilful, excellent pro.

lovely lad. i was working with their sister up until last month as well ha. I know he plays for the british deaf team, i think the reason he didn't go pro was because of the awareness factor? not sure though.
 
Gary Speed, and Tim Cahill's & Andrei Kanchelkis' home debuts, Duncan on his return.

John Oster and Tony Grant, James Beattie, Thomas Hitzelsperger, Joel Robles, Steven Naismith, Kevin Mirallas, Arouna Kone, Gerard Deulofeu and Nigel Martyn too, those I've mentioned are off the top of my head, I've seen loads make their debut.

Was at Rooney's last match as an Everton player and first as a Man U player returning to Goodison. And when Tim Howard scored.
