@adrianfclarke Brilliant Adrian! I’ve been enjoying your writing for ages, but I didn’t realise you were local, I had a pathetic/excited shiver of recognition when I saw Tyre World 😂

@Biggies_MaIIs At the time I remember the Collymore fee was said to be the equivalent of a whole season’s ticket revenue. Not sure how that stacks up to these figures.

They must be using some weird modelling to get these figures because those top three don’t make any sense in basic terms.

Yeah, I call bullshit. Collymore moved for £8.5m in 1995 and Shearer moved for £15m in 1996. WTF happened to inflation in those 12 months?! 😭 Bergkamp moved for £1m less the same year as Collymore btw, which shows as £30m difference here. Shearer figure should be about £400m 😂
Kieran Maguire@KieranMaguire

If there is a £150m signing in the Premier League this season it will only be the 9th highest in PL history after adjusting for football inflation. The most expensive player is @alanshearer who would cost £225m today (worth every penny) followed by @StanCollymore at £219m Along with @BlueCityBrain we’ve created @valuball as a football finance treasure trove.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

@timhhartley Not sure, the pitch was barely mentioned, we just walked along it as we went from one cell block to another. I’ll be reading the book though 👍

@RichLLWilliams Great picture. Thanks. Is that the 'pavvy?' The so called pavilion where spectators stood. It's amazing story.

While apartheid South Africa was banned from international sport, football remained a big deal in Robben Island prison. Between beatings and hard labour the game flourished with its own FA, clubs, refs, even player poaching. A remarkable story of so much more than a game.

@RoadworkUK My dad had a black one, it was a good car, understated but very capable.

Toyota Carina E GTi (basically a five- door Celica GT). Somewhat overlooked in 1993. Probably a splendid thing to own today.

@RetrogamesNow @sniffpetrol I was at Longbridge at the exact same time as you, BMW era, but I’ve still got my uniform (sorry!) I was in Powertrain, in East Works. What were you doing?

@sniffpetrol I worked in the “Long Room” of the Longbridge factory during the mid-90’s, just when BMW had taken over. The canteen chairs had 70’s orange and brown car seat fabric, and we were still selling Montegos. Wish I had kept my grey uniform with name badge

I apologise in advance for this week's Smith and Sniff in which I'm on my own in Birmingham, poking around the remains of the Longbridge car factory. Warning: May exceed your daily recommended dose of boring middle-aged mannishness. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/smi…

@Andrew_Frankel I’ve mentioned this before, but I was half watching tv once and got very confused for a split second when I thought I heard the presenter say “they have a Lada full of ingredients to work with.” Cars on the brain.

My brother sent me this to show what we’ll be eating next week but all I can see is the top end of a comp-spec 90 deg V8. Think I need help.

A very Happy 64th Birthday to Jim Steel 🎂🎉 The big man from Dumfries initially played 9 games on loan at the start of 1983. The following January, fans helped raise the £10,000 transfer fee to sign him permanently from Port Vale. He would score 73 goals in 230 games for us.
