Living the life of Riley
He shone in his year with a Man City as a youngster after his move from Preston.
An apocryphal story is that when Malcolm Allison told Peter Swales he wanted him to buy this young buck from a Preston Swales went to negotiate with the manager of Preston and offered £250K for him.
The Preston manager shocked at such a large offer for an untried kid said you must be joking. To which Swales, thinking the offer had been rejected, upped it to £750K.
He signed that day!
