Joe Harper came with a great pedigree
Season 1971-72
1.Gerd MÜLLER - FC Bayern München 40 goals
2.Antonis ANTONIADIS - Panathinaikos 39 goals
3.Joseph HARPER - Aberdeen 33 goals
Francis LEE - Manchester City 33 goals
Slobodan SANTRAC - OFK Beograd 33 goals
But only managed 14 for us in two seasons.I remember he got a standing ovation on his debut because he chased down every lost cause, and set up a couple of goals but sadly in the long term his work rate was really all he had to offer.


"Tottenham Hotspur (Home) and probably the best game of football I have ever played in my life. Because I was so psyched up for it, I did everything apart from score. I hit the bar twice the post twice I set 2 goals up for Howard Kendall, I think we beat Spurs 3-1. I missed a penalty with about 15 minutes to go; I sent the keeper the wrong way and hit the post. I think I only ever missed 5 or 6 penalties in my life and I got a standing ovation walking off the park which was absolutely amazing and that set the seal for me."

Can't believe none of you have mentioned McFaddens debut v Stockport in the league cup. He was like George Best that night and followed it up with a Pele impersonation against Leeds on the Sunday.

I thought Moyes really had found an absolute gem of a player, like a real world beater lol

still done a job for us though ;)
 
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.

Who was the Reus game against? I was at an early game of his but not sure if it was a debut. It was against Mainz where he came off the bench and scored 2. One was a solo effort from the half way line on the right wing. I knew he was something special from that moment.

Remember the Mainz game, that was late August. His debut was away at Kaiserslautern.
