The Seamus Coleman factor

[Matt1878]

I would imagine there are quite a few players that joined later on in their career, made their debut and then retired while at the club.

Richard Gough.

Bit different playing 30+ games , ok it was under the same manager debut and retired but not sure its the same

Yeah , I know, I was just taking Bally's question litterally.

You could add first and last proffessional game, but of course he played for Sligo before his Everton debut, possibly Blackpool on loan too, maybe not, memory is sketchy.

Might be someone under Kendall across his spells? Kevin Ratcliffe is pretty close for example.

[weimaranerblues]

Ebbrell pretty close.

[blueforyou]

Tommy Wright under Harry Catterick, pretty close

Is Seamus Coleman going to become the first player to have his debut and final game under the same manager at Everton

Can't think of many that would've done this either way no matter the manager
Suppose Ferguson was it 25 years??? and Wenger 22 years??? Would have a few like

But without injuries and their career coming to a natural end there's not going to be many that have achieved this.

Big dunc made his debut under joe royal I think

Joe Royle signed Dunc on a permanent basis, but he made his debut whilst on loan with Iain Durrant, under Mike Walker

[TheRam]

He means Alex Ferguson.

As in players like Giggs and neville would have made their debuts and retired under Alex Ferguson.

Yes, but I was replying to "Big Dunc made his debut under Joe Royle, I think"

[4evablu]

Just watched the overlap and he said he signed under walker with Durante but made his debut under Royle as walker got sacked
Unless I mis heard him need a Friggin interpreter sometimes ha ha

Dunc's first Everton goal came in Joe Royle's first game in charge, but he made his Everton playing debut under Mike Walker

[weimaranerblues]

I remember Ablett getting a winner and Big Dunc played in that game think it was West Ham , was on Holiday in Tenerife.

But how is Big Dunc comparable to the Coleman factor @4evablu

[blueforyou]

That West Ham win was our first of the season, Walker got sacked after the next game
