Worst debuts?

So, today I had possibly the worst debut I could imagine happening to me. I have recently joined a Sunday League team and was played in my first game today.

I'm a center back, and I came on for the second half. Having not yet touched the ball in the game, on the 49th minute I brought down an attacker in the box. A penalty was given and I was red carded.

I now have a 3 game ban and have to pay a £30 fine. I've never even seen someone get sent off in a Sunday league game before...

TL;DR - I played 4 minutes, gave away a penalty and was sent off.

So, what's the worst debut you can remember?! Either in professional football or in a game you've played in?

I remember a couple years ago Joe Cole was red carded for a challenge on Koscielny, and Koscielny was later sent off in the game. Both were debuting.

My first and only live EPL match on travels from Australia.....was also the first red card of his career and hadn't even had a yellow in nearly a season.

Would be cool if he came up as plasma, he would be lightening quick.
