 Garry Birtles Joined: Man Utd from Nottm Forest in Oct 1980 Transfer fee: £1.25m Today his fee is worth: £3.2m Today he would cost: £23.8m Yes, there was a time when United got it wrong. Very wrong, and Garry Birtles was the pick of the bunch. Yet in 1980 few people raised an eyebrow at the transfer when Dave Sexton gave Brian Clough so much for a player who in a couple of seasons at Forest had shown himself to be the epitome of the modern centre-forward: strong, mobile and deadly. But his loss of form at Old Trafford was shocking and mysterious - one match report described his performance as 'bordering on the statuesque'. He took almost an entire year (from 22 October, 1980 until 19 September, 1981) to break an embarrassing duck and finally score his first United goal. A predictable cut-price sale back to the City Ground ended a long nightmare. Sold for £300,000 to Nottingham Forest in 1982 after 63 appearances (12 goals). | ||

Yep it was cringe-worthy stuff watching Birtles trying to hit the back of the net, the more he tried the worse he got but if you are looking for United "failures" there are far worse than him.......

Salford, I enjoy your pictures, as I do believe it's important for historical events to be recalled from time to time however this thread is for current events
Was that picture like with the Champ20ns shirt that had to have a minor amendment done to them at the end of the season? I guess at least they put the 2011 in the centre having now realised it is unlikely to move to the left hand column to make room for another any time soon |
