It would take an uber-fan to know who signed each player.

I might put Glenn Murray ahead of Forster for Wilkins, though Forster was better for Wilkins side.

The problem with Tony Grealish is that we sold Horton long before we needed to!!!

Alan Mullery 1986–1987
Barry Lloyd 1987–1993 Let's say Mike Small (because we got a better fee for him than Byrne)

Steve Gritt 1996–1998
Brian Horton 1998–1999 Gary Hart

Simon Morgan was signed by Adams. Peter Taylor mkii think may have to be Junior Lewis, only for his performance against Reading at home.
