Presume this is Rubbish

Did we really sign Neil Sorvel for an estimated £175K ?? Our record signing according to this

It's just nicked straight off Transfermarkt: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-more ... erein/3697

It's a great site with lots of cool stats/information, but some of the transfer/valuation stuff for lower leagues is very dodgy.

More like £17.50 in those days!

Crap journalism

Complete bollocks from memory. As has been said 17.50 would be about right.
I think he came for free!!

[Westgate Wanderer]

I think we paid Woking £30,000 to buy Justin Jackson back. Then a season later sold him to moneybags Rushdon & Diamonds for £175,000

[Freez]

Yup, that 175k was a record transfer between 2 non league sides at the time.

Stolen from here and even they say there are doubts https://fanbanter.co.uk/every-league-tw ... ebruary/3/.

Sorvel came on a free, so just bollocks.

Not sure on our record transfer.

Justin Jackson was allegedly £30k from Woking but record transfer shown as Steve Walters from Northwich Vics for £25k.

However, Carl Baker from Southport was allegedly £35k, although the Southport press claimed £50k.

The only players I can think where we have spent anything over £10k on in the past 20 years has been Mark Duffy for £20k, also from Scouseport and I think we paid something for Jason Oswell from Stockport.

[Freez]

Think Oswell cost us 20k, from memory.
Bloody knew Sorvel was nowt!!
