I see according to Wikipedia his first game was as a sub for James Brown after 46 mins in the 1-0 loss to Colchester on 17-12-2011.

As i recall his first act was to put their left back on the floor which i thought at the time warranted a straight red.He went down like a bag of shit and didnt move for a long time.
Austin splintered towards the referee and seemed to plead for clemency (hes only a young kid, first game etc etc).
Luke somehow got away with it without any form of card.

Does anyone recall this or is my lifestyle catching up with me?

I would imagine it been the other way around. the opposition are still getting away with it now;

Perhaps it was a dream fuelled by a gallon of Strongarm and half a pound of cheddar.

Man after my own heart. I like Strongarm and I do think like cheese it has hallucinogenic qualities. I also find after a session on Strongarm I could drink the contents of Hurworth Burn Reservoir the following day.

Strongarm is brewed using the famous "dropping system" which formed part of the new brand managers idea of promoting the product.
It was only after it launched someone told him of the effects of excessive quantities of Strongarm on your bowls. He didnt last long.

Remember the game, but can't remember that incident. All i can remember was how utterly awful we looked that day, he came on and just looked so different to everything we had. Pace, attacking players, running at the defence and getting a couple of shots away. Anything bad from him has clearly been erased to preserve the good memory

Almost forgot about that tackle. It's probably why no left back has come within 3 yards of him since.

Thought he could have had a 3 year stretch in Durham for that never mind a red.
