Didn't Withe play for them before Forest? Doesn't count anyway.
 Fact is Blose only ever have one or two very good players at most and strangely, they rarely leave until they are almost too old.
Apart from Trevor Francis, have they ever sold anyone for big money?

They might have sold Jonathan Hunt for £28m but nobody in world football could afford him.

Yes. Just shows you though how far back you have to go.

Pennant went from them to Liverpool didn't he? 
Not big money (6m?) and ultimately he wasn't successful but it was considered the move that would define his career at the time.

It could be argued that a guy who has spent all of his career in the Premier League or La Liga, who played (very well) in a Champions League final, and who is so wealthy he forgot he'd left a Porsche at a railway station has been pretty successful..

Didn't Chris Sutton go from them to us... or was he a Bosman?

The only player I can remember directly coming was Curbishley, who got a mixed reaction. Heskey came via Wigan and Withey came via about four clubs I think. Sutton played a few games for them then left and came to us as a free agent didn't he?

Yes, Sutton was a free agent, like Agathe

Blimey! I remember a Nose classmate in Junior School doing an oral exposé on Bob Latchford, back in 1975. I'll never forget, he managed to fuck it up by saying that "Latchford went from [SHA] to Everton for £2000" (it was a then record £350,000).

Emile Heskey.

Can you imagine the reaction if we did sign them both. I think it extremely unlikely but the sudden declarations that they 'never rated them anyway' would be hilarious.

Bit like some of us and Young?
