The closest real life example I can think of to this was (I think) the final of the 1998 world cup, when Brazil subbed on Ronaldo in the first minute of the match.
It's not quite the same (I think the actual reason was that they didn't know if he would be fit enough to play by the time they had to hand the team sheet in; he wasn't fit enough to play, they lost) but it's the closest I can think of.
Ronaldo was definately not subbed in the first minute of the 1998 World Cup Final. </BLOCKQUOTE>
He wasn't on the original team sheet handed ot officals. Then they gave another with him on. </BLOCKQUOTE>
