It was Tommy Elphick that got to the PL before we did with Plucky. Gary went into non league football and never played above conference/national league after leaving us. The sending off against Reading was about 50 mins into the match, was his full debut after a sub appearance. Tommy came off the bench and made his first Brighton appearance in the same game.

Has any player been sent off on his full debut for the club? I remember a match against Brentford where we had a lad sent off. I can't remember his name (Watson?) nor whether it was his full debut or not?

Didnt Greer get sent off on his debut ?
Yes, yes he did, I forgot that (I was on my hols)
He was sent off in successive games as he missed the opening game for us as he was still suspended from the previous one!
That's the one I remembered. I couldn't recall who we were playing.
Yep. Elbowed some bloke in the face.

Greer got a red card in the playoffs with Swindon, so his suspension continued into his move to us. He missed the first game, which, iirc, was at Swindon.
He then played at Withdean & got a red card with us.

Remember saying to my son 'what a waste of money'
The previous week, we’d been chanting ‘Where’s your captain gone’ at Swindon fans, and I thought that was coming back to bite us on the bum!

Correct decision about the red card, wrong about the subsequent penalty.

Fair enough I remember being there when It happened
For some reason I thought it was at the Rainham end at the Priestfield
Perhaps a lowlights reel of the Priestfield years might give a few on here a better perspective of the current situation

Lowlights being the operative word about everything that occured at Priestfield. God awful place. Maybe we should be grateful that someone hosted our games for a couple of years.

As a sub has to be Colin Hawkins. Came on didn't touch the ball was sent off.
17th December 2011, the day after my 50th Birthday and I sponsored the bleedin' game and we were 0-1 down (Dambusters game)
I think Jamie Moralee wins it for his 59 secs sub appearance at Scunthorpe. He also didn’t touch the ball before being sent off.

Came on for Dean Cox after Tommy Elphick had been sent off, promptly gave away a penalty from and was sent straight off. Hawkins never played for us again. Liam Bridcutt got also got sent off for Stockport late on.
Finished off a pretty miserable week for us as the Stockport game came straight after the Huddersfield game where Kuipers was sent off.
A cracking highlights video of The Hawk here, we can laugh now.
