EARLIEST WE'VE MADE A SUBSTITUTION

We've obviously made a lot of substitutions in our history, but this is a list of the earliest time we replaced a player in a game. It shows all the substitutions in the first 20 minutes of a game.
Einar Aas was the earliest of these - he broke his leg in the first minute of a game against Sunderland and never played another competitive game for us again.
Also, two of the subs we made in the 7th minute were in the same game. Both Scott McKenna and Willy Boly went off at the same time in the Premier League game against Fulham in February 2023.
