10 Things (Other Than Money) Used To Purchase Footballers
5. Zat Knight - 30 Tracksuits
The Transfer: Rushall Olympic (England) to Fulham (England). The Year: 1999. The Fee: Thirty tracksuits. Zat Knight - who most recently played for Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer last year - is a former England international centre back who had spells with both Fulham and Aston Villa in the Premier League. At his peak, he cost £3.5 million and £4 million in two separate transfers, but the fee paid for him in his early career was much less expensive. Fulham - who, bearing in mind, were reaping the benefits of the early years of mega-rich Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed's takeover at the time - paid amateur side Rushall Olympic just thirty tracksuits for Knight's signature.
