Debut scorers

Steve Davies away at Donnie opening day of 2013/14 season.

Edit to say the left back who played him onside and was just beaten to the ball was James Husband!

Lincoln City travelled to the Lancashire coast on 14 November 1896, and Blackpool recorded their first win for a month. Bob Birkett, on his debut and in his only appearance of the season, scored Blackpool's first goal in a 3–1 victory - can anyone remember being at that game? 🤪
I love looking at old photos of bfc, I actually remember seeing a picture from that game have a look if you can track it down
Young lad sat on the wall behind the goal, cute looking kid wearing a fedora....must have been about 2 years old....
 
Did James Quinn score on debut? I know he scored after 11 seconds in a game, and scored really early against Chelsea.
think that was donny away set of late got in the ground just as we kicked off but needed a pee so went tto loo and massive cheer went up think it was the only goal of the game and remember the announcer announcing to a pool fan at the game he had just become a father lol no mobiles then
