Way back in the year on the date 9/2/1979 Trevor Francis of England became the first footballer in history to be sold for a million pounds. Mind you it was a very huge amount in those days for a club to spend on a single player, gone are those days when managers got players for say 25,000 twenty five thousand pounds. The first footballer to be sold for a million pounds was Trevor Francis when Brian Clough the manager of Nottingham Forest, paid Birmingham one million pounds for him. But Brian Clough and Trevor Francis won the champion league 1n theyear1979.
