British Transfer Record

OK this one's just a bit of fun.

I was just reading something about Real and the fact that they paid more for Cristiano Ronaldo than they had for Zinedine Zidane and Kaka. Now, I think that is bonkers.....world player of the year or not, I rate both of the latter two more highly than him.

So I got to thinking about where I'd rate him in terms of the most expensive transfers involving British clubs. I've put the top 15 transfers below. Have a go at ordering them from best to worst.....ie who was the best player and work your way down.

I'll try to do mine now!


May 1986 Mark Hughes Manchester United Barcelona £2,300,000
June 1987 Ian Rush Liverpool Juventus £3,200,000
July 1989 Chris Waddle Tottenham Marseille £4,250,000
