2. Bournemouth – Marc Pugh/Harry Arter
Debuts: August 2010
Signed within days of each other, Bournemouth pair Marc Pugh (pictured) and Harry Arter made their debut in the same game as the Cherries kicked off their League One campaign against Charlton Athletic on the opening day of the 2010/11 season.
Pugh immediately starred, while Arter, fresh from non-league football, took a little longer to adapt. Both were ultimately vital in securing promotion to the Championship and then to the Premier League, before also contributing to the club then survived in the top flight.
