On that topic, this podcast gives an interesting insight into the behind the scenes moves relating to that transfer. Most of which I'd either forgotten or never heard at the time
- The massive role played by Paulo Futre to bluff this transfer into being
- The pre-contract which Figo's agent signed (...and doubt over whether Figo really understood what was being signed in his name)
- The move eventually went through against Figo's wishes purely because he and his agent would've been ruined financially otherwise
