Moving up the evolutionary ladder we reach the Croatian defender Robert Jarni, who signed for Coventry for £4.5m in August 1998. Not even a friendly or reserve game in Sky Blue, let alone a first-team appearance." "He watched a friendly with his wife," says Tim Ward, "who allegedly told him he couldn't stay and was then sold less than two weeks later to Real Madrid for a tidy £750,000 profit. Remember Rafael Scheidt, the Brazilian defender who moved from Gremio Porto Alegre to Celtic for £4.8m in December 1999? Ciaran Carey certainly does. ![]() "One unnamed Celtic first-teamer said at the time that 'he couldn't trap a bag of cement'," he seethes. "The Dream Team of John Barnes and Kenny Dalglish saw fit to sign a player who they had only ever seen on video, presumably swayed by his two caps for Brazil (allegedly the result of a widespread racket involving agents bribing corrupt Brazilian FA officials to cap their clients in meaningless internationals in order to inflate their market value and secure a lucrative move to Europe - it clearly worked)."īut the winner - as far as we know - is Rodrigo Fabri, who according to Daniel Eve was sold by Portuguesa in Brazil to Real Madrid around 1998 for roughly £8m. "However," explains Eve, "Real loaned him straight back to Brazil, which was the start of a footballing odyssey. He played for Flamengo and Gremio in Brazil, Valldolid in Spain and Sporting Lisbon in Portugal over the next few years. Every pre-season without fail he turned up at Real and was sent elsewhere, never actually playing for them.

"What I want to know is a percentage figure for Old Firm wins in these cups and the league and how it compares to other crummy leagues." "The Scottish Premier League is one of the, if not the, worst leagues in the world, due to the total dominance of the Old Firm", reckons Cam Haskell. "I must say I'm very glad I don't have to be in the pub with Mr. that a league's worth is determined by the number of different teams that win it, the Scottish League vies with Spain's La Liga to be most ''rubbish'." Haskell, who sounds more boring than the English Premiership," says a feisty-sounding Dex McCluskey. ![]() "Since 1950, seven Spanish teams have won La Liga, while eight Scottish teams have topped that country's league. Real Madrid has won 26 league titles, compared with 29 for Rangers. Barcelona has claimed the top spot 11 times, compared with 19 at Celtic.
