Memorable International Debuts

by Starfish » 06 Jun 2016 15:20

Marcus Rashford's recent debut against Australia started a conversation in the pub the other night about impressive international debuts. By far the most impressive that we came up with (I admit it was not my contribution) was that of Dieter Müller.

He made his West German international debut in the European Championships semi-final in 1976. He was brought on as a substitute in the 79th minute against Yugoslavia - Yugoslavia were winning 2:1 at the time. He scored the equalizer shortly after being brought on and scored two more in extra-time as West Germany went on to win 4:2. He also scored in the final although West Germany lost (very memorably) on penalties to Czechoslovakia.

So, contributions please. I suspect this pub conversation will be continued soon enough and I am badly in need of your knowledgable support.

Nicky Shorey against Brazil 2007...first Reading player to represent England in over 100 years........pretty memorable

Just the one more game for him, but it was against Germany.....fairly decent brace of caps

Let's be honest, it's the only thing about his whole career anyone will ever remember.
