Not necessarily the best NUFC signing but the one who represented the best deal given how much we paid for them and what we got out of them. I'll give you a few for starters but there are bound to be players I've left out who folk prefer (or I've forgotten!)

Gary Speed cost us £5,5 million and has become something of a legend for us.

Shearer...obviously he cost a world record fee at the time but nobody could argue it wasn't money incredibly well spent.

Rob Lee...cost £700, 000 but his contribution in our colours was priceless, imo.

Andy Cole...£1.75 million, sold for effectively 4 times that. never mind that 'all-round-better-player' shite when he went to manure, he was at his best as a striker with us. Lethal, he was.

Keegan...what was it, £100, 000....

I'm not even going to comment any further...it's Keegan, for me-partly just because of what he achieved with us as a player for those two seasons but also because it sowed the seeds for what was to follow.

Thoughts...
