Stan Collymore became the most expensive player in British football when Liverpool paid £8.5m to sign the forward in October 1995, but by the time he arrived at Bradford City on a free transfer five years later, his career had been derailed quite considerably due to several incidents of ill-discipline. His signing was seen as something of a last throw of the dice from a struggling Bantams side, but it looked like a stroke of genius when he scored a brilliant goal 21 minutes into his debut just three days later. A hopeful cross was sent in from the byline by Benito Carbone and Collymore had to back-pedal to meet it, but meet it he did and with a superb overhead kick into the bottom corner. The fact the goal was against Bradford's arch-rivals Leeds United made it all the sweeter, but that would prove to be as good as it got for the forward at Valley Parade as the club were forced to sell him after just ten weeks due to his high wages.
