Brian CLough "The Queen met me".
He replayed a huge part of his £1,000,000 transfer fee when he scored the winner in the European Cup final.
Trevor Francis - born 1954. Still alive, aged 68 now. His wife, Helen died in 2012.
But sadly 6 months later he died 30 minutes ago aged 69 , rip legend
@The_Devious yeah still can't believe he's gone all the greats are going
This aged like milk.
He left Nottingham Forest two seasons later and signed for Manchester City in 1981 for another record £1.2 million transfer fee.
Just heard the sad news
That Trevor Francis
Has passed away.
Rest in Peace Trevor.
A great Player.
In 1979 Trevor Francis was only 24, blown away because in this video he looks more like 44 - or is that just me 🤔
People looked older then :p.
It's that 70s haircut 😁
It’s the era, people looked really old.
Bad diets
He doesn't look 44 at all. Stop smoking that stuff 😂
Now they earn a million pounds a week.
Trevor Francis you were a proper football player and we will never forget you, from a Rangers fan. ♥️
Rest in peace Trevor.❤🎉
We don't have a formula here.... apart from success
One goal in the European cup final paid off that fee, good on yer Trevor.
RIP Trevor.
He left Nottingham Forest two seasons later and signed for Manchester City in 1981 for another record £1.2 million transfer fee.
Get your hands out your pockets young man !!!! 😂😂
Incredible how the the first club spent the most money on a player was Nottingham Forrest.They were a great club for a short while and i was thinking of being a fan.Remember also seeing Peter Shilton being interviewed on Swap Shop.
Wow, double what Liverpool paid for Dalglish. Liverpool didn't spend a million on a player until the late 1980s.
RIP No.8😢
Straight after the interview he made Trevor brew up for everyone 😂
We don't have a formula here apart from success.
And Jimmy Grieves wanted to go for 999,000 bevause he didn't want the be the 1 mil man.
I've just checked and 1 million pounds now is about 19million now according to the Internet if I've done that correctly than thats crazy. I miss Brian 😢
trevor learnt brian had a big gob ...
What part of the player’s salary was in the transfer fee? Did the player get the 1 million or did his former club get the money and the player got a smaller amount as salary?
Transfer fee goes to the club 100% (sell on clause maybe applicable) a player will recieve a signing bonus separately normally 10% and wages probably around 5k a week for 79
But he wouldn't of got 100k signing bonus 10% was the going rate then he probably got a 30k signing bonus back then
Wow. Britain used to look really British.
Was great for him but sucked for humanity as of where we are today with wage inequality and so on……. 😱
✌🏽🌏❤️
that fur coat is hideous
This is when football officially died
