Reserve for the youth team. Seagull - head - beach

Mark Lawrenson to Liverpool.

Wasn't that a British record fee for a defender at the time? £900K if memory serves me right?

With the transfer window upon us, many players will be pondering a move to a 'bigger club'. maybe it's a sign of how far we've come but let's have some examples of players/managers who have left us 'for a bigger club'.

I'll start with three,
Paul McCarthy to Wycombe Wanderers.
Dean Hammond to Colchester United.
Brian Horton, as manager, to Port Vale.

Nobby left us for Port Vale to be nearer to his family.
A better debate would be him leaving us for the Hatters.

It would have been Lawrenson to United £500,000 plus any three of United first team exchange if Mullery had his way.
