    No because Leeds had already stolen £55,000 from us for Allan Clarke. Not begrudging paying that for a recent England International but he came to us as player-manager and MOST clubs would say "Thanks Allan for your service - best of luck in your new job" and let him go for free.

    But this is Leeds we are talking about :mad:

    He’d be worth considerably more than the players we’ve sold for disclosed or undisclosed millions in recent years.

    Even the mere mention of Ronnie makes the hairs on my arms stand up , what a player ! , In a life time of watching the reds , in my opinion he is the best player ever to wear the reds shirt .

    We paid the second highest fee in the club's history at that time, only beaten by the one we'd paid Leeds United for Allan Clarke the previous year.

    I work with a lad who played at Frickley when he was manager and Ronnie told him he never wanted to come to Barnsley really. His agent told him we were interested and to come down for a meeting, he said his agent was asking daft money too, so never expected to be staying long but we said ok. The rest is history. He became a king.

    The most appropriate song that would have said everything about Ronnie is. "Your defence is terrified the king is on fire" Some of my Wendy mates. (Sorry please forgive me they're not proper mates) used to be terrified whenever he got the ball. Priceless, brought pleasure to everyone that had the privilege of seeing him. Better than sex. Don't tell the missus.

    Without doubt the most exciting player I've ever seen at Oakwell. Electric.
