The cost of your hero today

[Joey66]

There's a certain generation of reds players that always speak in hushed appreciative tones about the Golden Vision.

Idolised - in fact my young memories of him & the fans - it was incredible they adorned him - on his day unbeatable did suffer with blisters on his feet & was a wee bit inconsistent, but on his day an artist of a small no 9.... partnering up with Royston Vernon what a combination upfront .....

When the direct competition are prepared to talk well about a player, it's clear they are. They knew Southall was magnificent, and they knew Rooney was something special as well. The truth is in the respect.

My dad's favourite ever Everton player. Still idolises him even now. Still goes all misty eyed when he talks about him. He's 77

My personal hero was Kanchelskis, who was apparently signed for £5m, i could have sworn it was £7m. Anyway, i asked ChatGPT to use the inflation today for his value which was only £11m.

A few others

Who's yours?

Here is the prompt if you wanna use ChatpGPT or whatever " <insert player name and value here> adjust that and give me the formula for inflation today < this is the prompt"

Well it shows that you can't trust chatgtp which often is rubbish.

Take into terms how long your hero stayed at our club / back then some stayed for a decade .....

They has Ian St john who was a grafter & goal scorer - THE GV just oozed skill & class - The Manager The Catt would have preferred Ian Saint John -
The GV was a born entertainer on muddy pitches he could glide past a centre half & he could hang in the air to head a cross - he lacked consistency & had a mutual hatred of his Manager .....

Rats is and always will be my Everton hero…. Superb footballer. I also have a soft spot for Stuart mcall … thought he was fantastic for us … but I guess the highest fee today would possibly bring Nev into the conversation…. In his prime there was nobody better

I already know the answer to my all time hero's present day worth. His name was Alan Ball and his present day value...priceless

Heroes are priceless - silly thread title.

Big Bob…£350,000 circa 1973..

English record transfer at the time.

Don’t know what that would equate to today but as someone else said, the normal rules of inflation cannot be applied to football.
