our team in 87/88 playing against ac milan 0f 8990 would have been a cracking match.

it's hard to put value on players. hansen and lawrenson were two of the best players i ever saw but barnsie would probably be worth 2/3 times more in financial value because of the attacking threat which he offered.

Barnes 45 million; beardsley 30 mil; nicol 20 mil; whelan 25 mil; aldridge 15 mil (wasn't young at that time); hansen 10 mil (was getting on - but still the best centre half in england by a mile); houghton 15 mil; brucie 15 mil; gillespie 10 mil; molby 30 mil. craig johnson 12 mil; mcmahon 25 mil; lawrenson 20 mil

rushie in today's money would be 35 mil no doubt.

Brucie 15 mill
