Now that Freddy scored on his league and cup debut and everyone is getting terribly excited about how good he can be for us, got me thinking about who else has scored on debut for Wolves. I remember Keane scored 2 at Norwich on his but there must have been some donkeys who've also scored on debut, anyone think of any others??

I think Colin Taylor scored two in his debut some years ago. Against Millwall in a 4-1 win, if my memory serves me right!

Ketsbaia scored against Sheffield Wednesday
Tony Dinning scored against Norwich?
I think that was given as an own goal in the end. I can remember the goal. He headed it but it looked to be going wide until it hit a nowich players head and got diverted into the goal.

Going back a bit (50s), but Micky Lill definitely did, and in the 2nd minute, I recall.

I'm pretty sure Peter Knowles did, as a 17 year-old (63-4), but I can't remeber who it was against - Ipswich?

Knowles had just turned 18 when he was handed his first team debut at Leicester on 14/10/63. Knowles then scored his first senior goal in the next game, a 2-2 draw at home to Bolton.

Think Steve Daley scored on his debut in every competition he played in including Eufa cup.
Also Willy Carr in the 7-1 trouncing of Chelsea
the blond haired lad that scored on his debut in the rain against millwall was shaun bradbury
Got two cracking goals that day if I remember rightly.
I cannot remember their names but I think when we almost went out of business in '82, we played Blackburn in our first game of the season. It was shown on Match of teh Day and I think two yougsters making their debut scored.
didnt glen crowe score on his debut?
Steve Mardenborough was the young lad who scored at Anfield on his debut. The firrst game back in the 1983-4 season
Just checked.
Got that completely wrong. We drew 1-1 on the opening day Palmer scored in front of 26,249! Mardenborough did scored but at Anfield in a 1-0 win, but I got it wrong it wasnt his debut!
Funny how the mind plays tricks. Ill put it down to old age!

Didn't Colin Taylor score on his debut against Perborough at home in one of the smaller cup competitions in the early 90's?
I went to the milwall game where bradbury scored twice. The kid got injured shortly after that game and disappeared into non league.

It wasnt raining. It was a gorgeous day in May.
2 belting goals & the last time you could stand on the South Bank. (and I m proud to say, I ve actually got the t shirt!!)
3-1 & I spent the whole following summer down the park shouting 'Bradbury!!' whenever I had a shot on goal!!
Had a blazing row with my Liverpool mate that he was gonna be as good if not better than Fowler!! :o

Didn't Andy Gray get 2 at Everton
Didn't Andy Gray get 2 at Everton
Gray scored 1, Peter Daniel and John Richards scored the others.
A week latter Gray scored on his Molineux debut against Man Utd and then in his third consecutive game, he scored twice in a 3-2 win away at Arsenal - The News of the World awarded Gray 10/10 for his performance at Highbury. A totally awesome start to his Wolves career

I had a few beers with Shaun the other week, at my mates shed.(games room). He's a chippy now and lives just down the road near Rob Edwards. He's a good lad and it's a shame he slipped so far down the leagues because he could have played 1st or 2nd division.
He used to play for the same team as me but higher age group as a kid and he used to bang the goals in for fun. Like many players, knee injuries took their tole over time and he lost his sharpness.

Read thread :rolleyes:
I'm sure Tim Steele scored on his debut, in the 88-89 season, it was a night game at home, but I cant remember who it was against, I'm sure we won 5 or 6-0 though.
