Black Friday

[budgierustler]

As today is Black Friday, which footballer has been North End`s best ever buy?

Not particularly the most money but the best value for money!

I`ll kick off with -

Mike Elwiss

 

[Kathryn]

If he goes for several million in January, Jordan Hugill.

 

[Sid Snot]

Alfie Biggs. Best £6,000 (Paid 18 got 12 back) North End ever spent.

 

[Schemer]

Alex Dawson; signed for, what was it, £20k? Scored 114 goals in 197 games. Nobby Lawton at £11,500 wasn't a bad buy either.

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

Elwiss closely followed by John Thomas

 

[222Mark]

What a racist thread!

 

[Strongbow]

Graeme Alexander only cost £50k and certainly would be high up on my list.

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

What a racist thread!

That would be your interpretation. Don’t see anything wrong with “Friday” to be honest.

 

[pne4ever]

Not a bad profit on Nugent.
As it's Black Friday does that mean he's coming back at a bargain price 😉 😉

 

[marsbars]

Before my time but Tommy Thompson?

 

[sixtysomething]

Alex Bruce for me.

We bought him back from Newxastle at a much lower price than they had paid for him and he became a legend for the club.

I did see him play and probably haven't seen better since. Good shout.

Gary Swann only cost us £10,000 and he was a massive player in our promotion in his first season under McGrath - he was one of our most consistent players until he left in 92 - we were relegated that season

 

[BeteNoir]

Dawson without a doubt. Too rough and tumble to get into the Scotland team but what a shot/header he had on him.

 

[volley]

Archie Gemmill 10K from St Mirren?

 

[diggerb]

Its difficult to judge with the way money has taken over the game, its hard to compare.
If we are measuring relative cost against number of appearances, as someone has said, alexander has to be in there

 

[europne]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegan

Never has a man bossed the pitch like him.

The opposition fans hated him, always a good sign.

 

[Skeffy]

Kevin Keegan from Skunny for 32k. 🙄

 

[tepi1]

Have to say the Gary Brazil/Bob Atkins combination was a bargain at £22500.

 

[Kathryn]

Kevin Keegan from Skunny for 32k. 🙄

Are you living in a parallel universe?
