TijuanaTim Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 ...pennies to Brum for Europe's best left back and the finest player of our 'almost' team. Big Ron - Are you kidding me, all those goals for our moderate (at best) late 60's side. Dominated every single centre back that had the misfortune of trying to stop him. Dean Richards - was great for us, got a shedload for him and neve played a good game again. KD .75 in - 7.5 out, nuff said. Jimmy Case - old when we got him, even older when he left after many great seasons as a true leader. Who else...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Man Do Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 James Beattie - 1 million really important goals out for 6.5 million Marian Pahars - 1m(ish)? The amount of money he must have saved the club with his relegation saving goals in the great escape season alone make him a good deal.

TijuanaTim Posted 2 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 November, 2010 MLT - Bale - Big Chiv - TheO etc all time brilliant, however was more looking for the sorta 35 grand spent on 'Psycho', complete waster with limitless ability 'til Lawrie mac signed him. Then instantly transformed into the consummate over-lapping, hard tackling, intimidating left back - Terrace icon t'boot. One of us out there kicking Dalgleish etc and taking the p!ss out of the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 (edited) Ivan Golac what an inspired signing he was & for a mere £50,000. Also Ivan Katalinic (or could be Catastrophic) was a great shot stopper but absaloute pants coming of his line for crosses.

Badger Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 David Armstrong Good shout, possibly our most underestimated player we've had. But for value I agree with Dennis and Golac . From the 1970's - David Peach c£60,000 and Alan Ball 1960's - John McGrath, Jimmy Gabriel and above all Big Ron. Could of course add Terry Paine from the 1950's if we accept he was signed from Winchester rather than a 'youth product' from Winchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 I agree with you Badger, Alan Ball was a great by on both accounts as a footballer and manager ! I reckon David Armstrong 'Bald Eagle' was one of the very unassuming but consumate professionals. Did a great job for us in the middle of the Pak and for his club 'Boro before us. One of my all time favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 3 November, 2010 Share Posted 3 November, 2010 How about doing a "worst sale" or "best signings from Saints" ? Alan Shearer. Stands a mile above the rest. And we got f**k all for him (well, Speedie and Dixon counted as f**k all). Proof, if any more above team performance were needed, of what a prize c**t Branfoot was.

No sell on clause on the Shearer deal either, although a British record at the time looking back we were robbed.

ericofarabia Posted 3 November, 2010 Share Posted 3 November, 2010 Thinking back to the mid 70's and early 80's , Lawrie was picking up players in the twilight of their careers for a song, and squeezing one last hurrah out of them. Obviously Bally and Jimmy Case have been mentioned but how about the likes of Phil Boyer (Phil Boyer 1st division top scorer!!) and his partner in crime Super Mac (Ted Macdougal) and not forgetting FA Cup winning captain Peter Rodrigues. And of course he snapped up Steve moran for the price of a pair of new football boots. Aye Lawrie was canny man !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sholing Shadow Posted 3 November, 2010 Share Posted 3 November, 2010 Alan Ball was probably our best value for money signing of all times, but Kevin Keegan, Dave Watson and of course Shilton must be up there.
