The record transfer fee received by the Brakes was £5,000 in 1978 when Roger Brown went to Bournemouth. That was £24,500 in today's prices. I doubt whether we will get anywhere near that amount if the move to Leicester revealed in The Courier goes ahead.
A number of sides are thought to have been interested, but the move to the Foxes reflects links between Brakes manager Paul Holleran and Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare. It also makes sense for the young player to move to a Midlands club rather than, say, go to London.
