Bournemouth youngster Matt Worthington was thrilled to make his Premier League debut last weekend.
Against Leicester City, the 19-year-old replaced Ryan Fraser as manager Eddie Howe bolstered his midfield with 16 minutes to play.
Asked by the Daily Echo about his feelings when Howe told him he would be going on, Worthington said: "I had a lot going through my head.
"I was a bit nervous but I was shocked that he had said my name.
"It felt unbelievable. I am so thankful to the gaffer for believing in me and putting me on in such an important game, with so much at stake.
"Making my Premier League debut has rounded off a great season for me.
"We have had a few injuries, so I knew there was a chance I would be involved. I trained on Friday and Saturday, then was told I was going to Leicester.
"I was delighted with that, then when I found out I was on the bench I was over the moon. To actually make my Premier League debut was unreal."
