Jonathan Woodgate scored on his debut for Real Madrid :-)
Wayne Rooney scored a Hat-trick against Fenerbahçe on his Man United debut.
You're quite right on both counts, fellas! Woodgate, as we know, chose the wrong end for his Real debut and got himself sent off too. There's quality for ya...
Rooney picked the right end for his debut goal at United *and* stayed on the pitch for the duration, remarkably...
It should also be noted that No 16 on the list, Alan Shearer, scored a hat-trick on his debut for Southampton, in a 4-2 win against Arsenal.
