A summer spent glued to Ceefax in 1987 opens the door to a much bigger story: how football’s transfer system grew from Victorian journeymen paid in beer to a century of rules, loopholes, tribunals and power struggles. From wandering dockside players in Bristol to the retain‑and‑transfer system that trapped generations of professionals, this episode charts the messy, surprising evolution of how footballers move — and why a single signing can still feel magical when you’re eight years old.
