spurs v sunderland notes


Ben Alnwick	Spurs signed this promising goalkeeper for about £1,000,000 and was put out on loan to Leicester City, before returning to the club at the end of 2007-08 to be the second keeper at White Hart Lane.

Darren Bent	Record signing for Spurs, the former Charlton Athletic and Ipswich Town striker never really got a good run in the Tottenham team and left to join Sunderland in the summer of 2009, where he found a regular first team place and scored regularly too.

Fraizer Campbell	Striker on loan at Spurs from Manchester United failed to convince Harry Redknapp during the 2008-09 season that he was worth making a permanent signing, so returned to Old Trafford in the summer to be signed by Sunderland.

Pascal Chimbonda	Controversial full back, who left Wigan with a transfer request handed in after the last game of the season and Spurs after skulking off in the League Cup Final when substituted. Went as one of a few players to Sunderland in the summer of 2008, leaving for an undisclosed fee on 26th July. Surprisingly, he returned to White Hart Lane in January 2009 for £3 million, signed by new manager Harry Redknapp.

Ernie Coquet	Joined Sunderland from Seaham White Star in 1905, before moving on to Reading. Signed for Spurs in 1908, along with Billy Minter for a combined cost of £500, full back Coquet served Spurs well, making 77 league appearances, eight in the FA Cup and playing six Southern League games. He scored one goal - a penalty against Burnley in 1909 before leaving Tottenham in August 1911.

Jermain Defoe	Signed twice by Spurs Defoe went on to score 17 goals for the club before moving to Toronto FC, but his time in Canada lasted just over a year before he was signed by Sunderland in January 2015. Ironically, he made his debut at White Hart Lane and failed for the first time to score on a club debut.

Jimmy Devlin	Signed for Spurs on 29th May 1896, Devlin scored once in 20 Southern League appearances, but in April 1897, he was suspended for a year for lack of effort. During this period, he signed for Millwall and the matter had to be referred to the FA, but he played for the South London outfit and then Sunderland for a brief stint before moving on to Woolwich Arsenal in December of that year.

Marton Fulop	Spurs reserve keeper who never broke into the first team, but had a good run at the Stadium of Light when first choice Craig Gordon was injured. Was not happy being second choice though.

Phil Gray	.

Alan Hutton	Spurs defender signed from Glasgow Rangers, who went on loan form January until the end of the 2009-10 season.

Younes Kaboul	After being signed by Spurs twice (with a spell at Portsmouth in between), the centre-half fell out of favour with Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino and left to join Sunderland in August 2015 for GBP4 million.

Steed Malbranque	Signed from Fulham in 2004 for £2.5 million, the right footed Frenchman (born in Belgium) was often asked to do a job in the Spurs midfield on the left and scored a good ratio of goals. Left as part of the clear-out in the summer of 2008 and moved to the Stadium of Light on 30th July.

Steven Pienaar	.

Andy Reid	.

Teemu Tainio	Signed from Auxerre in 2005, the experienced Finn did a good job in the Spurs midfield, until a clear-out in the summer of 2008 saw Teemu sold to the Black Cats on 25th July.
