Exactly my point. :thumbsup:
Considering at the end of his time with us he was worth nearly 5x what we paid for him on the market and went on to greatness as a top flight/international player, his muted view of us in his role as pundit pisses me off a bit. We loved him like the legend he was for us. Ho hum. Maybe it's a 'northerner' thing, apparently he never wanted to leave Preston. :shrug:
9X actually, wasn't it? £100K to get him from PNE, £900K from Liverpool?

Got this from The Goldstone Wrap online -

"He was 19 and settling in comfortably with Third Division Preston when he suddenly found himself on the move.
‘I never really wanted to leave. The only reason I went was because Preston needed the £2oo,ooo transfer fee.
‘I was on holiday in Spain. They rang me up and said, Look, Brighton have been in for you. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to… but, we’re a bit short of money."

I could be wrong. Did we bark them down on final price?
