Jack Celliers Me too. As soon as I heard his name announced at 6:25 on Radio 4, I felt a sinking feeling and said something like "Noooooo."
Anyway, what has surprised me in the potted bio they gave on the news was the claim that he was the first British million-pound player, so I googled and apparently, two Italians (Paolo Rossi and a nobody) were sold for a million pounds or more before he was.
This is bollocks isn't it? Wikipedia has rewritten history for some reason - maybe it is applying weird exchange rates. Francis was the first million-pound player in the whole world ever. If he hadn't been, I would have known. I was 12 at the time and capable of committing all sorts of things to memory like Latin verbs, singles chart positions and especially transfer fees. I wouldn't have failed to memorize who the most expensive player in the world was.

Misinterpreted the list I was using, thought it was odd at the time of typing but just couldn't recall any of those above names! Think it's actually currently Declan Rice at £105m.
