West Ham United goalkeeper Ruud Boffin was delighted with his Premier League debut in the draw at Blackburn Rovers.
Boffin was extremely unfortunate not to keep a clean sheet, making a miraculous point-blank save from Ryan Nelsen before the New Zealand defender converted the rebound with his knee.
He told whufc.com: "It was nice, but it's always difficult to play on your debut. I found out on Friday that I was playing when I realised that Rob was not travelling. From that moment, I was ready to play.
"It is a big step for me because it is one of the biggest leagues in the world. When I was asked I'd have been stupid if I'd said I didn't want to play!"
