The transfers that might have been: Diego Maradona: Argentinos Jnrs - Sheffield Utd. In 1978 the United manager had agreed a £350,000 fee for the 17 year old only to be overruled by the board. Eric Cantona: Nimes - Sheffield Wed. Wednesday manager Trevor Francis asked Cantona to stay on for a 2nd trial week, he refused and signed for Leeds. Zinedine Zidane: Bordeaux - Blackburn. One of the best quotes in world football came about when Kenny Dalglish tried to get Jack Walker to buy Zizou. “Why would we want to sign Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?” Ronaldinho: Gremio - St. Mirren. Before a passport scandal killed the deal, the Paisley club had agreed with Gremio to give the youngster European football experience. A special mention must go out to Ipswich Town who turned down both Ruud Gullit and Paul Gascoigne. There are many many more out there and we would like to know your favourites.
