Shaun Teale - £450k in 1995
Gary Stevens - £350k in 1996/7 (ish)
Liam O'Brien - £300k in 1994/5/6 (I'm crap with dates)
Aldo - £250k in 1991 (surely a good shout for the greatest football signing ever made)

I can't think of any more where we paid considerable money.

Anyone...?

My best guesses would be:

11/7/91 - John Aldridge - £250,000
18/8/92 - Pat Nevin - £300,000
22/9/94 - Gary Stevens - £350,000
14/8/95 - Shaun Teale - £450,000
23/9/98 - Graham Allen - £300,000 (notional)

Although I'm probably missing at least one obvious one....

How could I have forgot the J-Lo arsed Chief himself, Wayne Allison - a hefty £300k in '99.

I thought clubs paid more for players as the years go by - we've been spending less and less for about 7 years. :cry:

Quite so,

21/1/94 - Liam O'Brien - £300,000

so I'd strike Graham Allen or I guess in fact it's John Aldridge off my list then.

Tar I thought we paid more than that but thats shit that we have never spent more than £450,000 for a player that scares me considering that we were in Division 1 once which is now the Championship

Good shout, wasn't that much though, £300,000 I think. But definitely up there with the highest signings.
