Probably the best pound-for-pound transfer in British football history is Kenny Dalglish's move from Celtic to Liverpool in August 1977. The Guardian newspaper mentioned his name three times that summer – all in the wake of Scotland internationals in June. The fourth mention came on August 11, two days after Bob Paisley and Liverpool chairman John Smith made a late-night smash-and-grab raid on Parkhead.
Paisley was staying in a hotel under the pseudonym Bill Smith, pretending to be his chairman's brother – and taking no chances whatsoever, hadn't even told his wife where he was going, in case any hacks caught wind. ("Jessie will not tell lies. So if she didn't know where I was, she wouldn't have to, in case anyone tried to find me.") Paisley's cover was eventually blown by a fan who spotted him and asked for an autograph, but by then the deal was almost done. When the £440,000 transfer was finally sealed with Jock Stein, Paisley turned to Smith and said: "Let's get out of here before they realise what we've done." Driving off into the night, their work wouldn't make the papers for another 48 hours; compare and contrast to the recent two-and-a-half-year Cristiano Ronaldo affair, then weep. Go on, let it all out.
Doktor s posebnimi preparatiLiverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has revealed his secret behind a successful 2008-2009 season at Liverpool.
Kuyt revealed that before every game he calls a ‘natural healer’ from Holland to help prepare for matches.
The Dutchman only suffered one minor injury last season and played over 60 games for the Reds.
Kuyt said: “Before every home game I have a natural healer called Henk de Gier fly in from Holland. He does a session with me and makes sure I go on the pitch in top condition.
“And Henk is not the only one who helps me. For quite a few years I have been using a haptonomist (a touch therapist). I like to invest in my fitness and well being.
“I played more than 60 matches last season. The reason I was able to do that is because I let these healers fly in.
“It started after I had a bad spell at Liverpool in 2008. I even lost my place in the Dutch national team.
“Ever since Henk has treated me, I have been running like a steam train.
“Henk has a special treatment for me. He calls it ‘the shaker’. He gets rid of all my physical problems and he loosens my body.
“He takes away not only injuries, but also stress and headache. He has helped me enormously.”
Kuyt believes Liverpool can have a good season next term with ‘great things to come’.
He said: “The whole club is absolutely desperate to win the championship.
“If we do win the league next season, the city of Liverpool will have a month-long party in the town. It is 18-all in the titles race between us and Manchester United. The fans need us to take the lead again.
“And I have this incredible feeling that we are on the eve of another massive season with great things to come.
“In my trophy cabinet I only have one medal - for winning the Dutch cup. That has to change here and now - with Liverpool. I have signed a new contract until 2012 and have no intention of playing for anybody else before that time.
“I have had other offers from clubs in Europe. But this is not the time to leave a team that I have helped to build - we must finish the job.”

Arab Sheikh Buys Majority Share of an Unnamed Premier League Club by Jamie Ward (Columnist)
Breaking News
June 21, 2009
A leading Emirates news agency today claims Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr Al Qasimi of the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Customs and Seaports, has purchased 60 percent of a leading English Premier league club.
Reports have also said the Sheikh will become honorary life chairman of the unnamed club after the takeover is fully completed and made public.
Reuters UK have also picked up the story, broken by WAM late on Sunday 21st June, and reports that a press conference will be held at some point this week revealing further details and the club's identity.
The speculation about the unnamed club has spread like wildfire across football forums already up-to-date with the breaking news.
UAE's The National newspaper have speculated about the club in question, and claim that Sheikh Ahmed will be collaborating with Sulaiman al Fahim in the forthcoming takeover of Portsmouth.
The announcement of Sulaiman al Fahim's takeover of the South Coast outfit was announced last week, but he is currently awaiting legal and financial due-diligence investigations before the deal can be fully finalised for 100 percent control of the club.
However, supporters believe the unnamed club is not Pompey because it is unlikely two Arab powerhouses would be happy sharing the club amongst themselves, and the little profit to be made from joint ownership. There is also the unnecessary act of silence by the parties involved for a club that is already publicly being taken over.
Another leading candidate is said to be Merseyside club, Everton, solidified by Toffee's chairman, Bill Kenwright, saying he would happily stand down for the right investors in order to take the club forward.
Although, it's being questioned by forum followers as to why the new suitors would only offer to buy just 60 percent of a club, with no serious opposing rivals to ownership, that could easily be bought for the full amount by such wealthy backers.
Liverpool are also being highly considered as likely candidates, with serious unrest between the current American owners, and the impending arrival of refinancing the £350 million loan taken out to purchase the club, a power-struggle that has been played out for the last four years looks to be nearing an end, according to some followers.
There has been apparent information from inside the Anfield corridors, suggesting the Liverpool has actually already been bought out by an Arab franchise, but the club are keeping it quiet in order to acquire summer targets before transfer fees rise astronomically.
The calm demeanour of Rafa Benitez during the last few weeks when discussing transfers and money matters, alongside comments like "we may break our transfer record" this summer, have gotten Liverpool supporters really believing something is happening behind the boardroom doors at Anfield.
There is also the recent resignation of Liverpool Chairman, David Moores, who some believe is part of the terms from the new possible takeover.
The next few days and weeks will have many Liverpool supporters on the edge of their seats as they hope to see the end of the American owners' reign with the club, and new investment from Arab consortiums are, once again, being welcomed with open arms.
