We recouped most of our transfer fee when we sold him. Was he our record signing? According to wiki we paid £250k for him. Overall I thought he was a decent signing.
I think our previous record signing was the aforementioned Craig Maskell also for £250k.
I'm being provocative. I loved Nogs and those two goals against Bolton, one at Elm Park and one at Wembley, are possibly my two favourte ever Reading goals. But after Wembley he scored about 15 goals in two seasons which is piss-poor for a record signing centre-forward. Admittedly he was in a poor team that got steadily worse.
In 1994 Craig Maskell and Steve Moran were the equal record signings at £250,000, therefore Lee was the third player to equal that.
Jim McIntyre cost £420,000 I believe which, at the time, put him the third most expensive player behind Darren Caskey and Carl Asaba. As I recall Jim was a really good player under Alan Pardew but disappointing under Tommy Burns.
Jim was last known to be manager at Dundee (sacked May 2019) while Lee was last heard of as assistant manager to Neil Aspin at Port Vale (left January 2019).
