How times have changed.

@Boyne Interesting looking back to see who was value for money.

Shearer most expensive though don't think Newcastle won any silverware.

Ronaldo think did the business at Barca.

Zidane looks the steal at only £3.2m

£2.5mil for Leboeuf. Bargain. 

Hampden Park for the Scotland v England game in 1937. There was just under 150,000 at the game. My Grand-father was at the game and paid a shilling (5p) to watch it.

Yeah Zidane for £3.2m and compare it to some of the prices paid in England in the summer of 1996 !

The hat shops obviously did well back then !

The queue for the trains at Mount Florida would have been enormous.

(This station is about 400m away, from where this picture was taken at the top of a street !)

Scotland v England Hampden Park Glasgow, April 1937  

A BBC panel discussion in 1997 about Scotland v England football rivalry in the 1930's. William Griffin was a 15 year old schoolboy who attended the famous 1937 match and shared amazing recollections with Sir Stanley Matthews, one of his boyhood football heroes, described as a true English gentleman.

Also interviewed were Russel Galbraith, the author of the Hampden Story and Jed O'Brian, Project Director of the Scottish Football Association's Museum Trust.

Found this when looking for something else.

Tore Andre Flo for £300k has to be one of the best pieces of business done under Uncle Ken.
