No idea! I know John Barnes was about £900,000 ish. So it has to be someone around that time.

In the English game ,Trevor Francis .in the world not sure but I would guess Real Madrid might be the team to pay it

I guessed Barnes, but upon checking, that isn't right.

It's a bit before my time unfortunately but I do love these questions and know after we sold Ian rush that Peter Beardsley cost a bit not sure how much but I would say he was over a million so he shall be my guess!

Actually just after I typed it could be Barnes they came the same summer so if he was first he could also have been more than a mill

I was thinking Dean Saunders but that was in to the nineties so it wasn't him. I think that was 3.5 anyway.

Was it Rush on his return from Italy?

As good old Ed 02 says, let's not get into finances. It only confuses us :)

If you look it up Cloughie never paid 1 million for Francis he insisted on it being a penny under as he thought a million was ridiculous lol typical Cloughie, don't think he wanted to be the first to actually pay it due to his working class roots

Well done to the Beardo replies, he not only exceeded £1m but almost hit £2m at £1.9m.

That same summer, Barnes cost £900k - what a bargain!!
