It's hard to keep track of the goings-on in the transfer market in today's game. In a debut game for a new club all eyes are on the new player, with every move they make scrutinised, glamorised or criticised.

Now we ask you to recall the most mesmerising debut performance that you've had the fortune, or misfortune, to witness. We want to know about the player AND the performance.

Could it be Wayne Rooney's Manchester United debut against Fenerbahce when he scored a hat-trick resulting in a 3-0 United win? Could it be Fabrizio Ravanelli on his Middlesbrough debut in 1998, when he scored three goals to each time pull them level against a resilient Liverpool.

'We want to know about the player AND the performance'


What about George Best's debut for Manchester United against West Brom in 1963 at the age of 17, when the football world realised that a star had been born?

Or, for a completely different reason, it could be Jonathan Woodgate's Real Madrid debut when he faced Athletic Bilbao. Not content with scoring an own goal, he proceeded to get himself sent off.

Maybe it was Curtis Davies after his loan deal to Aston Villa facing a Leicester team not only on his debut but also his first competitive game in six months after breaking his foot and admitting afterwards: "It was my debut and I was awful. I didn't contribute anything to the team. I've been bigging myself up saying I was ready and obviously, by last night's performance, I'm not good enough to get in the team yet."

Either way, debuts are always something that will stick in the memory. Which one stands out in yours?

Let us have your candidates below and tell us what was outstanding about the performance.
