Carlisle
United v Watford
Saturday 16th August 1997 - Division
2
New signing this week from London giants Tottenham Hotspur. First came to
Britain in a £1,000,000 move to Liverpool from Belgium side Standard
Liege in June 1990. ??? went on to make over 50 appearances for the Anfield side before a £250,000 move took him to Tottenham in January
1994. Always an enthusiastic competitor, ??? was mainly deployed by Gerry
Francis to play behind Teddy Sheringham and Chris Armstrong. Loves
to pick the ball up and run at opponents, he will always get into good
goalscoring positions, but his first team opportunities limited with the
arrival of Andy Sinton at White Hart Lane in February last
year.

Sunderland
v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Saturday 18th September 1993 -
Division 1
The most prolific goalscorer in the English game, and Wolves record league
goalscorer. And at 28 the fearsome striker is determined to reach out for
new challenges. By his own standards last season's return of 16 league
goals was below par. His sights are higher this time around, with 25 his
target. And ??? also aims to earn a recall to the England side. His last
international appearance came against Poland in a European Qualifier three
years ago.
