Players that broke the clubs transfer record

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Anyone know where there's a list of players that broke our transfer record?

In my time it's been (all figures off the top of my head and may be nonsense)

Davenport £750k
Andy Payton £950 k or summat
Neil Cox £1m
Fjortoft £1.2m
Barmby £5.75m
Ravanelli £7m
Possibly yakubu? £8m?
Alves £12m
Assomballonga £14m

And then there's alf common £1k

Can anyone fill in the gap?

 

[Craggyjohn]

John Craggs 60k in 1971
Phil Boersma 72k in 1975

 

[parnabyscrosses]

Maccarone did, 8.15 mill I think it was.

 

[Gains]

Irving Nattrass £475,000

How embarrassing is it that Britt Assombalonga is our record transfer purchase?

Think Andy Payton was 900k,

Ehiogu was 8m and took Ravanelli record then it was macarons for 8.15, Britt was 15m

Embarrassing in the history of the club, but if we take a look at his contemporaries at the time, Britt cost...

Double the fee for Fletcher, yet with a surprisingly low goal ratio of 1:1.5

Double the fee of Gestede, goal ratio of 1:5

 

[weststandwally]

George Smith,£50000 from Portsmouth

 

[MickaelDebevePhenomenal]

We signed barmby for £5.25 Mil. Selling fee was £5.75 I think

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

I think Fjortoft was £1.3m as well.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Billy Ashcroft, first 6 figure fee paid. 1977.

Terry Cochrane, £235,000. 1978.

I’ll say it again. Britt played top 6 teams 48 times in league & play off games with us….he failed to score in FORTY-SIX OUT OF those 48 games.

He was a flat track bully, an invisible man against any competent defender and we paid 15m for him

Terry Cochrane, £235,000. 1978.

Big Billy was £100K I seem to remember

 

[Davey_C]

Payton was Hull's record sale at 700K

 

[gizboro68]

Big Billy was £100K I seem to remember

135K?

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

I might have to replace Payton with Derek Whyte. Could have sworn Payton was a record at the time but it looks like we paid less for him than Davenport.
Derek Whyte according to wiki was 900k.

Was Morris a straight swop for Payton?

I thought Morris signed with Whyte?

I thought Morris signed with Whyte?

He did
Straight after a pre season friendly when Lennie realised how crap his defence was
