Ralph Milne to Man Utd from Bristol City

You could also add Ralph Milne's transfer from Charlton to man utd

We sold him to Bristol City though

No wonder they threw bricks at us after the cup tie in '94

20 years ago! Remember it like yesterday, I was a young man then. :-)

Clive Allen - signed by Arsenal but was moved on to Palace before the competitive season started.

i think they wanted Kenny Sansom and knew Palace wanted Allen.

Luther Blisett to AC Milan

As the rumour goes they got the wrong Watford player, intending to sign John Barnes

Carl Cort (Wimbledon) to Newcastle for £5M.

Rumour has it they had seen Jason Euell, wanted him but got the wrong name off the team sheet.

Simon Church, to any professional Football Club.

Sheffield Wednesday's Andy Booth to Spurs (on loan). 4 appearances (1 of which was against Charlton at WHL if memory serves correctly) 0 goals.
Derby's Grzegorz Rasiak to Spurs. 8 appearances 0 goals.

Quite possibly two of the worst footballers I've ever seen wear the Lillywhite shirt.

Think the story was that wanted a striker so went after the top scorer in English top division which was Luther.

Indeed that's most probably the factual account but the rumour has definitely done the rounds.

Heard similar about Kleberson to United....all probably rubbish but they are funny.

The Euell/Cort one sounds the most plausible
