Garry Flitcroft
It doesn’t get much worse than this. Garry Flitcroft marked his debut at Blackburn Rovers by promptly elbowing Everton’s Duncan Ferguson squarely in the face, earning him a red card after just three minutes.
Flitcroft would, however, go on to have a successful career at Blackburn.
He remained with the club for another ten years – which just goes to show that a bad debut does not have to define your entire stint at a club.
