Not what I was looking for Vic, there is another, historical connection between all but one of them.

OK then so it must be Norwich as all the others are capitals of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms - Chichester of South Saxons (Sussex), Winchester of West Saxons (Wessex), Tamworth of Mercia, London of the East Saxons (Essex), York of Northumbria.

The capital of the East Angles was at Rendlesham, Norwich only becoming a major city when England was united.

Going back to the TP question, it was his first league goal - he scored at home to Hull in the FLC earlier in the season.

It would have been Priskin's second league goal if the game against Wigan had not be abandoned after he thought he had scored his first league goal.

OK. New question - not too hard. Only one of the Big Four existed before this event, the other three were created by it. What was the event and when?

Take a guess here and say the creating of the EUFA Champions league in 1992 - with previously only one team having qualified for the old European Cup.

Ah, you've been googling! No not accounting companies but companies, one of which was at the time the largest joint stock company in the world. Another clue: this event happened at the start of 1923. A further related event took place in 1948 then again in 1996.

This question should have sent you into "transports" of delight......
 
Over a 100 small railway companies were formed into the Big Four, GWR, LMS, LNE, and Southern Railway by an act of Parliment. This was changed into one company, British Rail, and then later denationalized and many companies emerged.
