Welcome to another edition of Roker Rewind, and Martin, Chris and Andrew are back with another delve into SAFC archives.

We’ve got a bit of a different take on things today though – because, as the transfer window is (apparently) well and truly open, we’re looking at transfers. Specifically, four transfers that didn’t ever actually end up happening!

On today’s show…

• The goalscoring sensation Len Ashurst was close to signing – only for Tom Cowie to refuse to stick his hand deeper into his pocket
• The global superstar prevented from joining the lads by his country’s militery government
• The Italian legend who shook hands on a deal with Roy Keane – only for the move to break down over a couple of hundred grand
• And, the world-class striker who Reidy tried to get a couple of times – but couldn’t quite get over the line.
