£6.5m 20 years ago is not £100m today. What does that make Shearer's £15m move 25 years ago? £300m? 🙄 EDIT: it's too much effort to reply to each comment, but just to be clear, I don't think transfers fees align with inflation but that's got nothing to do with Hartson overvaluing himself ridiculously. He sold for a reported £6.5m in 1999. To put that into comparison: Christian Vieri: approx. £35m in 1999 Luis Figo: approx. £55m in 2000 Hernan Crespo: approx. £55m 2000 Anyone who still thinks Hartson would be £100m is off their rocker lol. That would make Vieri £600m, so like 3x Mbappe 😂
@@LeadsTheFallen yea but you and I both know Shearer's fee would have been far more than 30 Million. Had he been transferred today. 15 million at the time was a World record fee. You have to be world class to break the world transfer record which he was. Tell me what world class CF goes for 30 Million in 2020? You are using regular real world inflation adjustments which are not the same as Football inflation. Granted, I fully agree, Hartson is drunk. He would never be 100 Million on any planet in any currency.
Mohammed D Malik in 1997 the world record transfer fee was £18.5m I believe which was R9 to Inter. In today’s terms that would basically be £200m+ so while £6.5m wouldn’t equal £100m it wouldn’t be far off.
This guy is seriously deluded. Zidane went for £75m In 2001, Buffon went for £47m in 2001, i can name a lot more around that time. Dont flatter yourself John you was average
@Daz Ediss More competitive because rangers were a corrupt cheating club who stole trophies and titles but they couldn't keep up with Glasgow Celtic and died of cheating...KARMA.
I met John in a pub in Llansamlet Swansea in 2009, I said to him "as a West Ham fan I used to have a poster of you on my wall next to your best mate Eyal Berkovic" he laughed a little.
These things happen in the heat of the moment. All of us over a certain age remember Alan Shearer kicking Neil Lennon in the head (understandable). The unbelievable thing about it was that the ref took no action, but then England captains have always been cut a lot of slack; Bryan Robson was an evil thug at times, but rarely punished for it.
@@declanobrien1283 He used to put himself about quite a bit - had a bit to say to opponents as well. Shearer's kick, which he shouldn't have got away with, was retaliation.
Hartson discribing himself as a one hundred million pound player when he was sold for six is lol-anle. Zidane went for 75 million the same year. Figo, crespo, vieri all about 40. Does that make them 800 million pound player haha
6mils in today's football is at least 35mil today that's not bad comparing anyone to Zidane is going to look bad or any of those players you said he's wasn't on that level but wouldn't take anything away from him
Hartson was an underrated player in HIS time but he wouldn't even get a game today...the game is passing the big man by unfortunately...when Players like Giroud and Morata can't make a big impact he would have no chance..they do everything better than him expect battering people which he couldn't even do 5% of today
So without asking Eyal Berkovic his version of the story, Hartson gets the last word on it. I mean it's water under the bridge now, but a bit of a shitty thing none the less
People hating on Big John are a joke - people seem to forget that he was the foil for Larson for so many years. Hartson was great footballer and highly underated then and now.
@David Clinging berkovic signed a 3 year deal with celtic in 99. He was loaned out the 2nd half of 2001 to Blackburn. He returned from his loan and we had signed hartson. He was back at the club before being sold to man city. Not nonsense at all.
Probably a slight exaggeration, but he was the most expensive teenager when he signed for arsenal, and broke two teams transfer records. When he went for 7.5mill, the British record was still shearer for 15mill, I think. The world record was a lot higher, but still that's a big British transfer. Today you'd be looking at 40-60mill surely?
@@misfit2022 I think more! But yep, he defo wasn't a 100mill player, but give him his due, what he's saying is that people don't realise how much money he went for in his career. He was one level below the best strikers, so he's been forgotten about a bit...

Alright....look....£100m? No. Just no. But to be fair, Andy Carroll went for £35m before things got too mental. Mid-contract at the height of his powers, Hartson could definitely go for £50m in today's market. Hell you could overpay at £60m-£65m and nobody would bat an eyelid. He was a strong character, good front man, could lead a line confidently and had a goal in him. He's worth half as much as he thinks in today's market, just like a lot of professional footballers who retired, he reckons he was twice as good as he really was
@@pizzagateisreal wouldn't be getting ahead of yourself wee man.. He did it in Europe too with Celtic. Your English so you've got a big head! We know that. But wise up

Hartson was an animal, and Welsh. Seems to be a common trait in those from that part of the UK. Natural instinct is to lash out and ask questions later. And as for wanting to wear the iconic LFC shirt hahaha not a chance, you were no where near good enough or possessed the right attitude to be included in any LFC squad at any time, Maybe Leeds or Everton but you do not have the required standards that playing for a great club demands thats why you played for outfits like west ham and celtic because they do not have standards and will take anybody
