We said on Saturday that Robbie Keane was the 18th member of the Galaxy to score in their Los Angeles debut. After painstaking hours of waiting for PR to email us the list, we have it. Sort of. This may take some work.

Obviously there should be more to it. But that's all I could get from the hints in the Galaxy press release. What we can say from this partial list is that Robbie Keane joined some of the Galaxy's leading goal scorers. We can scratch our heads and try to remember who Alecko Eskandarian is. The first MLS year, the Galaxy had five players score on their debut (and outside of Cobi Jones that's my own research so their could be errors). Since then, there's been a max of two per year.
Can you think of anyone else who scored in their Galaxy debut? There's too much empty in this list, it needs your help!
