Heard a rumour that we had a young Norwegian on trial named Ole Gunner Solskaer who was deemed to small by the management.
Another player who wasn't as big a name as those mentioned but would of been a class player was Jamie Cureton, he was a goal machine wherever he was! Think we tried to get him a few times.

Lee Power came around March 1997. Trezeguet had five caps and five goals for the French U-21 team that year and played for the full French team the following season. He was playing regularly in the Monaco first team by then and scoring goals. He scored in the Champions' League in November 1997 against Sporting and later in that season at Old Trafford, four in nine CL matches..
Why would the French champions want to loan out a player to Scotland who was on the verge of an international cap?
I don't believe a word of it.

We could have had Jim Baxter for £5000, which wasn't a huge amount even then,during his first season at Raith.

About 4-5 years ago there was a similar thread on here and there was a link to a story about the Trezeguet thing. I can't remember all the ins and outs, but it outlined clearly the people involved (and how they knew each other) and the reasons why a loan deal was being thought about. IIRC it simply didn't come to anything, but there was no sinister reason for this.

The genius that was Colin Calderwood was told of a 17 year old lad who'd left Ross County to join Liverpool, hadn't settled and had returned north and was playing for Airdrie. CC looked and decided no. The lads name is Gary Mackay-Steven

Yep. He went down to Rotherham to watch Platt playing for Crewe in a Div4 game, but Gareth Evans on that night outshone Platt and the £100,000 intended for Crewe went to Rotherham.

My misinformation came from one of which at that time were half decent newspapers, the Daily Record or Daily Mail. I do remember reading the story. I will accept your version as being factual as we are all aware of the guff spouted by the aforementioned papers.

Coronation Street offered him a better deal and the rest is history.

The Trezuguet rumour never appeared anywhere in the Scottish or French press 1997 or 1998. I used to buy France Football every week in the mid to late 1990s and never saw anything there. It was never flagged up on any of the discussion boards (or email lists back then).
Produce news reports from 1997 or bI will continue to not believe.

For it to be said that we "lost out" on him is a bit harsh.

I can't seem to copy a link on this damned IPad! Google "Celts hell can make you Deek". That is a Sun story where John Robertson confirms the ICT swap offer.
