Cottee and Dowie turned around 1995 Southampton meeting
West Ham's 1995 meeting with Southampton turned in two minutes, as Dan Coker recalls in his West Ham Till I Die preview. An Ian Bishop own goal put Saints ahead at Upton Park. Tony Cottee equalised late on, then Iain Dowie scored the winner against his former club for a 2-1 West Ham victory.
Coker also profiles Henri Camara, who had loan spells with both clubs. His West Ham spell brought ten appearances and no goals. It is a curious footnote to Saturday's fixture, rather than a guide to what this side will do.
