1999: Dean Richards lands at Southampton
Dean Richards completed his move to Southampton from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a free transfer.
The central defender replaced the popular Ken Monkou at The Dell but soon became a fan favourite, winning the supporters’ Player of the Year award in the first of his three seasons with the south-coast side.
Richards scored three times in 67 PL appearances for Saints before joining Tottenham Hotspur.
Having made 140 Premier League appearances, illness brought an end to his playing career in 2005.
Richards passed away in February 2011, aged 36, following a long-term illness.
2017: Walker swaps Spurs for Man City
Kyle Walker moved to Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur after agreeing a five-year deal with Pep Guariola's side.
The England international had established himself as one of the best right-backs in the country over the previous eight seasons at White Hart Lane, making 198 Premier League appearances.
Walker was equally impressive in his first season at Manchester City, turning out 32 times in the top flight to help City win the title with a record 100 Premier League points.
