In the present day, when we know that football’s often “ruled by money”, a transfer fee of £325 seems as preposterous as the one for Jack Grealish!
It’s also interesting that the clubs with money, who were able to support these fantastical amounts were clubs that are still around today (even if not in the top flight) – West Brom, Aston Villa, Bury, Birmingham City, etc, as well as Sheffield United.
That was really interesting, Matthew – thanks.

Thought provoking stuff, thank you.

Great piece Matthew, a proper insight , funny as well. We need a George Utley now, a no nonsense hard man , with talent. A different world.
Thanks Brian
