Mills, David Read many references to David Mills being Britain's first half million pounds footballer. I beg to differ. The previous year 1978 Gordon Mcqueen moved from Leeds United to Manchester United for £500,000

Mills, David As an FA Coach I was attending a session ran by Jack Charlton and he brought along David Mills. Jack wanted a defender to go 1 on 1 with David which was me, the ball was played into Mills'y and I reacted upending him fair but hard. Jack was quick to point out ' hey man don't injure him he's just signed up for half a million quid'. Try again !! Mills got the ball next time sold me a great dummy, turned and rattled the woodwork. Great session, David forgave me for the first tackle and we shook hands and laughed after he narrowly failed to score.
