Vaguely but funny you should mention that as we were just arguing here about something that nearly happened in '95. BL signed Savo, Draper and twatgate but his 1st choices were Danny Blind, Les Ferdinand but we can't remember the midfielder or was Draper his 1st choice anyway??? Anyone know?

Draper first choice @Phil Silvers

Little made him the first £1m+ player (££1.25mil) for Leicester when he signed 1st July 1994

Signed for us on 1st July 1995 exactly a year later for around £3.25m

In July 1994, England Under-21s midfielder Mark Draper became Leicester City’s first £1M player when he signed from Notts County for a Club record fee of £1.25M.
Joining Notts County as a nine year-old, he became an apprentice in 1987 and made his first team debut as a 17-year-old in a third tier match against Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1988.

He was key member of Neil Warnock’s side, which gained back-to-back promotions in 1990 and 1991 to achieve top-flight status before being relegated in 1992.

By this time, Mark had become an England Under-21s international. He spent two more years at Meadow Lane, playing for the Magpies in the 1994 Anglo Italian Cup Final at Wembley.

In July 1994, he moved to Filbert Street to join Brian Little’s side, which had just won promotion to the Premier League.

Notts County valued Mark at £2.5M, so the case went to a tribunal, which set the fee at £1.25M.

Mark only stayed at Leicester for one season. His impressive performances resulted in him being called up to Terry Venables' England squad. 

However, City struggled in the Premier League. Little, who left to manage Aston Villa in November, tried to sign Mark in the January transfer window but Mark agreed to stay at Leicester.

That was on condition that he would be allowed to leave at the end of the season if the Club was relegated, which they were.

Consequently, in July 1995, Mark signed for Villa for a fee of £3.25M. Mark stayed at Villa Park for five seasons, when they were consistently a top-six side.

Additionally, they won the League Cup in his first season and regularly qualified for Europe. He was also called up for Glenn Hoddle’s England squad.

In January 2000, he went on loan to Rayo Vallecano prior to moving to Hoddle’s Southampton in the Premier League for a fee of 1.25M in July 2000.

By this time, though, injuries were beginning to take their toll, leading to retirement in December 2003.

Pretty much the same for me, being an old bugger and from an even older Villa family, I've heard stories and seen other clubs over take us, none more frustrating then last 15 years seeing Chelsea and Man city buy their way past us, the big 6 to me is ManU, Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, Everton, Spurs and now these new money to55ers gate crashing in there really grates on me, but honestly I wish it had been us and now we have given them such a head start that we will need a lot of luck and hard work to get close to the w--kers.

So stay patient, respect others views, have a beer and believe, Deano looked lost and naive tactically at times last year but it was a learning curve for him as well as the players. I have a good feeling about him though and I'm hoping and praying that he will turn out to be our Alex Ferguson.

 

As another old bugger..... well said that man.👍
