When was the last time we spent £250,000 cash on a player?

I reckon the last time we spent that amount of money was on Mickey Thomas in 1981 under Mike Bailey!

"Joe Fagan brought Republic of Ireland international striker Michael Robinson to Anfield in the summer of 1983. He was signed from Brighton and Hove Albion for £250,000, and in his first season at the club Liverpool clinched their first treble!"

Found this.. although it can't have been that long ago..

Think that amounted to £225.000.

£115.00 on Bisset
£105.00 on Codner

Andy Richie was 500K wasn't he? over 20 years ago!

Didn't think much money changed hands on that one? It was part of a transfer triangle that took Peter Ward from us to Forest, Gary Birtles from Forest to Man Utd and Andy Ritchie from Man Utd to us.

Andy Ritchie was signed before Mickey Thomas though.

Codner and Bisset were a joint signing at £230,000

Byrne was £225,000

Larry May was £200,000 I think

Byrne was bought for £125,000 from Le Havre. We sold him for £225,000 to Sunderland. We sold Mike Small for £440,000. Lawro went for £900,000. Yeah, I know these were sales, but we are talking about a time when there was some money sloshing about.
