Owen, Fowler, Suarez, Salah and more: A dozen memorable debut ...

Robbie Fowler – Fulham 1-3 Liverpool (September 1993)

It didn’t take long for one of Liverpool’s great No.9s to make his presence felt with the senior team.

At just 18, Fowler was selected to play alongside Rush in a League Cup second-round, first-leg tie at Craven Cottage.

He responded in what would become typical fashion, converting Don Hutchison’s cross clinically at the back post to seal a 3-1 win.

A fortnight later, he scored all five in the Reds’ second-leg victory at Anfield, and an overnight sensation had emerged.

Stan Collymore – Liverpool 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday (August 1995)

Liverpool broke the British transfer record when signing Stan Collymore from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 1995, and their investment paid off immediately.

On his Reds debut, Collymore delivered a goal of stunning quality to see off Sheffield Wednesday, turning away from two defenders and bending the ball home from 25 yards.

It was a spectacular contribution, from a player who went on to make a habit of producing such strikes.

Luis Suarez – Liverpool 2-0 Stoke (February 2011)

It took Luis Suarez only 16 minutes to make his mark at Anfield.

Brought on for Fabio Aurelio with Liverpool leading Stoke 1-0, the Uruguayan, a deadline-day arrival from Ajax, was sent through by Dirk Kuyt and, having rounded goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, managed to squeeze his finish past a covering defender in Andy Wilkinson.

Suarez would go on to become one of the most exciting and gifted players ever seen at the club.
