No he wasn't.Wasn't Jimmy Greaves the first player to command a then staggering fee of Β£100,000 ?
After protracted negotiations, Bill Nicholson signed Greaves for Tottenham Hotspur in December 1961 for Β£99,999Β β the unusual fee was intended to relieve Greaves of the pressure of being the first Β£100,000 player in British football
