Did anyone ever pay much for Anderton?
Paul Merson?
Steve Stone?
Ben Foster?
Michael Dawson?
Huckerby?
Earnshaw?
Jagielka?

I don't for one minute think this lot are the most expensive, but there must be a few million quid in there.

Not going to win, but gone for a few bob in his time.

David 'calamity' James, playing for Watford. The bloke was a tosser, I remember him making a 'yawning' gesture as the ballboy was a bit slow getting the ball back.

I think he signed for Liverpool not long after playing against us.

Taribo West? Complete guess as a) I dunno what kinda transfer fees he clocked up and b) I am not 100% sure he played against us, although think he did for Plymouth.

I remember him completely fumbling the ball for Raphael Meade to poke it home - he didn't look like a goalkeeper who was going to play for England and have a 20-year career.

It wasn't Akinbiyi that did the out-muscling.

It was this guy

Akinbiyi wracked up transfer fees of over £15m and I'm pretty sure he has played against us.

In fact, the more I think about it, I am sure he scored against us.

He only racked up that much as he had about 50 clubs. They all sold him on when they realised he was shit. His average transfer fee was £20k

When Ravanelli was on the bench for Derby against us (he didn't get on) he was on £50k a week, which was more than the entire Brighton playing staff at the time combined.

Leeds had an awesome team in 1989/90 when they won the Championship, infamously rioting in Bournemouth on the last day of the season.

Gordon Strachan, Vinnie Jones, David Batty, Lee Chapman, Gary Speed etc. A fair chance it could be from them.

I know David Platt played against us in a friendly for Forest, did he play against us in the league as well?
