Pallister won a lot of trophies with Manchester United who had to break the national record transfer fee for a defender to sign him from Middlesbrough.

It was his excellent defensive displays that helped Manchester United to the numerous leagues titles, and along with Steve Bruce at the heart of the defence, formed one of the best central defensive partnerships in the club's history.

But before all this, Middlesbrough had to pay a lot less to acquire him, when picking him up from non-league Billingham – reportedly a few kits, a ball and a goal net. How much do United need a centre-back of Gary Pallister’s calibre now.
