We never seem to have much luck with record purchases or 'big' signings. Always turn out to be duds or join us at the wrong time. Alan Clarke saw a cup final and a relegation, Mark Blake didn't do much and faded away, Eadie had a knee made of sawdust, Akinbiyi needs no explanation, Mills was a duffer, Waghorn hasn't justified the £3m, Draper was ok but we weren't and were relegated, every single Taylor signing... |

| To be fair Clarke was a great player for City he was just an horrible sod who used us as a spring board, which worked |

Channy wasn't bad with 273 goals ! Rowley too with 265 goals. Both record signings according to OF&F. Lenny Glover wasn't a bad signing. Same goes for Alan Young and Jim Melrose. |

| Will never forget Mark Blake's debut... first game I ever paid my own way for, going with my brother rather than my dad. £13 was a lot of money back then. That 3-0 defeat taught me a few life lessons! |

| Have we ever sold a player who has been a record signing for the other club? |

Heskey and Lennon I think Shilts was a record for Stoke and Clarke for Leeds. |
