Answer: Gordon Durie

Tottenham had to wait until the third game of the season before they scored in the newly formed Premier League. A 0-0 draw away to Southampton was their first ever game in the Premiership, followed by a 2-0 defeat at home to Coventry City. On 22nd August, 1992, Tottenham faced Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane. Durie struck in the 16th minute, before Eddie McGoldrick and Eric Young put Palace 2-1 up. Spurs were heading for defeat before Steve Sedgley scored with two minutes left to earn the North Londoners a 2-2 draw.

Answer: Leeds United

Keane has played for all the clubs listed, and started out his career with Wolves in 1997. After 74 League appearances for the Midlanders, he moved on to Coventry for a year before Italy's Inter Milan saw his potential and put him on their books. Italy was not a productive time for Keane, and after 6 League appearances with no goals to his name in Serie A, he moved back to England with Leeds United, initially on-loan, then a permanent deal. Leeds' financial struggles were a key factor in Keane signing for Tottenham on 31st August, 2002.
