Souness did that at Southampton with a former World Player of the Year's cousin (not twin Cosmo - unless you're thinking of somebody else who has done it!)

Yeah, I checked it up. It wasn't even a cousin but still, it was a huge mistake and a good laugh. And yes, it was with Souness at Southampton.

It's a bit tough for me to keep in mind stories from English football. You don't get a lot of information about it over here. :-/

It was funny too though how Eintracht Frankfurt found out that their African top-striker was 5 years older than his passport said. So, suddenly, the player lost all his market value, thus the club risked its license because this value was used as a bank deposit. So, when a chance occurred, the club quickly sold the player to Leeds for over 3 million quid.

Am I the only one spotting a player naming in this thread?

Not anymore!

perhaps Brian's wife missed the stickies?
Un-intentionally, I'm sure

This from a man who didn't realise that still owning a copy of FM07 would make it easier to join an 07 online clan :p

In 1921 £200 would have been considered a big fee wouldn't it?

He wasn't related - he was just a student at the university who made the claim to try and get the chance.

I think Brian is safe to name Blenkinsop as he probably died years before the Collyers ever thought about Football Manager.

The other two will have been in various versions since 01/02, so poor show Brian. :thdn:
