I think ironically some obscure players become known for their obscurity and thus become less obscure!
I'll go Zavon Hines.

Shortest ever first team career. Came on for Ashley Hoskin at Cambridge in the last minute and was his only first team appearance.
Difficult to determine now with added minutes but I think we’ve had players come on in stoppage time for their only appearance.
