Worst ever debut?

Post by Brastrapovich0 »

Forgetting (if you can) Hemming, what was the worst ever debut you've seen by a Leyton Orient player? And please don't say Sam Howes!!

Have a really vague recollection of someone being sent off about 15 mins into their debut but can’t place it

Jack Jeffrey (West Ham loanee) hooked after 45 mins or something along those lines

Joe Dolan, was it his debut he got turned inside out by the opposing striker and never recovered

Shwan Jalal, the other goalkeeping disaster

Wasn't that in fact our very own Alan McCormack?

It will never be beaten. The worst debut of all time. Was absolutely torn to shreds for start to finish. An absolute embarrassment to professional football.

Has to be Shwan Jalal. Was a Tuesday night and I think he was our 4/5th loan keeper that year.

I thought someone from the crowd who had never played the game before had managed to blag their way into our dressing room.

There was another keeper around that time that was equally poor (was he an Ex Man U reserve)?

Think that it was after we had Ben Alnwick who joined for a bit but then left rather suddenly. Is that who you are thinking of?

Edit, I was wrong. It was Rachubka! See below,
