Cowboys’ DaRon Bland ties record with fourth pick-6: Who else held the pick-6 record?

Premier League clubs have forked out just shy of £2bn already this summer, with little under a week of the transfer window remaining. With the insane and hectic spending of deadline day still to come, this total is likely to increase significantly in the coming days.
