But I'll have a go with Gary Nelson. Seem to remeber it was a pittance.
I must admit, the Steve Bruce/Trevor Francis swap was an enjoyably comical episode.paulie said:To be fair Tooting that's about the only time Palace were in credit.
There are numerous other examples like Collymore to Southend for 100k, Wright to the Arse for £2 mill, Chris Powell on free, Glen Little on a free etc etc.

Dean Saunders was quoted as saying "Oxford have a spent a lot of money bringing me here" after Alan Mullery cunningly sold him for an, erm, hefty £60,000.
He moved to Derby two years later for £1million.
Ah yes. But it was Mullery who decided to stick him on the left wing where he was utterly useless, despite him scoring about a billion goals up front alongside Connor for the previous 2 seasons under Cattlin.Robert Lester Zamora said:Barry Lloyd purleeeeze
Ah yes. Farrington threatened to be utter RUBBISH from the moment he arrived.Quantum said:Worse has to be Farrington
Ian Hart always defends Barry Lloyd. Must be a Worthing thing ?? the guy was a tosser
£200k. As usual, chickenfeed in the market at the time.Willow said:How much did we get for Danny Wilson? He BOSSED the team in the mid eighties and then we let Luton get him.
