Football quiz

Couple of quick ones.

1. Which two teams have we signed the most players from since the Premier League began. Name the players too. (Permanent signings only)

2. A United player was the first player to ever a miss a penalty in a penalty shoot out. Who was it and when?

PSV for number 1?

Number 2 is Giggs v Southampton.

PSV is one of the answers to question 1.

Giggs is not the answer to question 2.

That the one he did kick ups from the halfway line to the penalty spot?

It was either George Best, Denis Law or Bobby Charlton.

Yes. I thought that was the first shoot out in the FA Cup.

Much earlier than Giggs.

Official first team matches

Who were the 4 Villa players? Can only think of Yorke, Young and Bosman [on a free, I thought].

Didn't we sign Les Sealey back from Villa?

That's right. Forgot about that.

No idea on the penalty question.

Off the top of my head, these are the teams I feel like we often buy from.

(4)
Villa - Sealey, Yorke, Young, Bosnich
PSV - Stam, RVN, Park, Memphis, (Andreas Pereira?)
Monaco - Barthez, Evra, Falcao (was this technically a loan?), Martial

(3)
Tottenham - Sheringham, Carrick, Berbatov
Everton - Rooney, Fellaini, Lukaku
Blackburn - May, Berg, Jones
Leeds - Eric, Rio, Smith
Fulham - VDS, Saha, Smalling
Sporting - Ronaldo, Nani, Rojo (Bebe?)

(2)
Bayern - Hargreaves, Schweinsteiger
Dortmund - Kagawa, Mkhitaryan
Southampton - Shaw, Schneiderlin
Atletico - Fortune, DDG
West Ham - Richardson, Tevez
Barcelona - Cruyff, Piqué
Newcastle - Cole, Owen
Molde - OGS, Diouf (Nevland?)

Any others?

Interesting additional question. Players we've bought and re-sold to the same club during that time:

- Berg, Kagawa, Rooney, Piqué, Sheringham?

We signed him twice, second time was back from Villa in 93 but he didn't play for us after signing the second time.
