Worst Football Debuts In History<\/h2>\n

10. Kalvin Phillips<\/h3>\n

West Ham (2024)<\/h4>\n

After a torrid time at Manchester City<\/a>, Phillips’ move to West Ham seemed to be an opportunity to reignite his career.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Yorkshireman, an attempted prod back to his keeper in the third minute was picked up by Dominic Solanke.<\/p>\n

The Cherries striker did not hesitate to put his side ahead, hanging Phillips out to dry less than five minutes into his Hammers career.<\/p>\n
