Tomas Brolin was unveiled to the media after signing for Leeds United for a record £4.5 million from Palma. This was 1995, a year when Sky TV riches were beginning to flood into the top level of the game. Yet the Swede, who was named in the 1994 ‘World Cup All-Star’ team, would go on to prove a Premier League flop and never lived up his ‘baby-faced assassin’ nickname. Reports in hindsight from within the camp said that the signing was rushed and under-researched, but the Whites weren’t the only club to have pursued the cursive playmaker - he’d turned down three Italian clubs on his way to LS11. Moving on, 1995 proved a year of job opportunities with Halifax opening a new call centre while a new music choice system was launched at Leeds Town & Country Club.
