Posted August 14, 200717 yr Okay folks, just a couple of lovely goals from our new lads the other day...scoring on their premiership debuts. Malouda and Pizarro. So, who can name other chelsea players who have scored in their first games for Chelsea, in the premiership (don't have to go too far back for that) Scott
August 14, 200717 yr I was willing Sidwell to score when he came on so all 3 of our debutants could have scored. I was just thinking before also about how Man City would have found it difficult to score without a debutant having put the ball into the back of the net having virtually all of their first team playing their first competitive game for the club.
August 14, 200717 yr Mutu against leicester i think, or it might have been spurs Mario Stanic Veron Zenden Thats all i can think of the top of my head Sheva, Melchiot and JFH all score on debuts in the Charity sheild
August 14, 200717 yr Sheva scored against Boro last year. I'm just not sure if Boro was our first or second match of the season?
August 14, 200717 yr JFH also scored on his debut v West Ham others of the top of my head Flo v Coventry 97 Mick Harford v Oldham 92 Peacock v Blackburn 93 King Kerry v Derby 83 Joe Allon v Wimbledon 91 (?) has to be more...
August 14, 200717 yr Sheva scored against Boro last year. I'm just not sure if Boro was our first or second match of the season? That was the second game the first was City at Home.
August 14, 200717 yr I think Ossie got two on his debut (1964) and Jimmy Greaves scored on his too, not only for us but also Milan, Spurs and maybe even when he went to West Ham! He was a truly great striker.
August 14, 200717 yr Ossie did score two on his debut - read all about it here http://www.theshedend.com/peter-osgood-1947-2006.html (shameless plug I know!) which reminds me I need to fix the spacing in the paragrapghs in that profile.
August 14, 200717 yr Cup games but........... Forsell scored two blinders against Oxford Utd in a Cup replay at the Bridge. But was it his debut??? I really cant remember!! What about the YTS boys Nicholls and Granville?? Im sure one of them scored in a Cup Winners Cup game!!??? Bratislava???.............Oh I cant remember!!
August 14, 200717 yr What about Ambrosetti against Galatasasry, not sure if it was his debut though? Not his debut. Not in the Prem. Nor were these two that I can remember: Trevor Aylott in 1977-8? Nigel Spackman 1983. I think Colin West also scored on debut - late 80s?
August 14, 200717 yr Cup games but...........Forsell scored two blinders against Oxford Utd in a Cup replay at the Bridge. But was it his debut??? I really cant remember!! I was there and I tell anyone who will listen that it was his debut! veron on his league debut... but not his proper one...
August 14, 200717 yr Trevor Aylott scored on his debut against Champions Elect Nottingham Forest in a 1-0 win I believe. He then scored the only goal of the game against Bristol City the next home game before his form levelled with the rest of the team in that era ;) Colin West scored the only goal of the game against Arsenal in 1987. I think he only managed 1 or 2 more after that for us but he will be remembered fondly for that great goal and his performance in that game. Andy Myers scored on his debut against Liverpool in the early 90's (2-2 draw also Robbie Fowler's debut for the mickeys). Neil Shipperley scored on his debut too. I think against Wimbledon. Graham "Bobby" Stuart also did (against Palace?). For a while it seemed as though any junior coming into the team was guaranteed a goal on their debut.
August 14, 200717 yr Forsell scored two blinders against Oxford Utd in a Cup replay at the Bridge. But was it his debut??? I really cant remember!! It wasnt his debut. Im pretty sure that was a few days earlier at Highbury
August 14, 200717 yr Cup games but...........Forsell scored two blinders against Oxford Utd in a Cup replay at the Bridge. But was it his debut??? I really cant remember!! I was there and I tell anyone who will listen that it was his debut! No it wasn't Forssell made his Chelsea debut when he came on as sub in the league match at Highbury on 31 January 1999 (we lost 0-1). He scored those great goals against Oxford just three days later.
August 14, 200717 yr Last time 2 Chelsea players scored on their debut in the same game before this weekend?
August 14, 200717 yr was thinking of West Ham years before '83 - according to my dad at the weekend anyway. Bridges and Tambling both scored in the same game on their debuts
August 14, 200717 yr Was the first match against Oxford JT's debut? Paul Elliott in 92(?) Paul Hughes (what a debut goal that was!)
August 14, 200717 yr Author Mutu's was against Leicester. A free kick he took with is right foot that rebounded to him and he slotted it in from the same area with his left. Shame he took to the world ot strippers and Charlie Scott
August 14, 200717 yr Was the first match against Oxford JT's debut?Paul Elliott in 92(?) Paul Hughes (what a debut goal that was!) Paul Hughes at the Bridge who was the oppo??? Think he made a run and played a wicked 1-2. Great goal! Not as good as the goal Danny Granville scored that year though!! Anyone remember JT's backpass at Anfield when he was coming through to the 1st team??
August 14, 200717 yr Remember Stanic's first goal?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr7WyqIrx_4 That is one h*ll of a goal but I couldn't help watching your avatar for most of the vid
