Britains goal was to win the war then continue conquring the world.
The first MLB player to earn $1 million per year was Nolan Ryan in 1979. I haven't been able to find the NBA & NFL players as of yet.
Oh, dude, you're taking me back! The first NFL player to sign for a million bucks was Joe Namath in 1965. That was like a big deal back then, you know, a real game-changer. Like, now players make that in a game of Madden. Time flies, man.
they brought Bryan Robson from West Bromwich Albion for £1.5 million - he went on to become England captain. bloody good player too.

Trevor Francis - was first 1 million pound transfer in 1978.. Not So!! Giuseppe Savoldi had been the world's first £1m player when he moved from Bologna to Napoli for £1.2m in 1975
Britains goal was to win the war then continue conquring the world.
For one, in WWI, the Britains rolled out tanks for the first time.
While recognized as the first 1-million-pound player, the actual transfer fee for the Trevor Francis was £999,999 -- £1 short of the 1-million mark. Brian Clough wanted to ensure this milestone mark did not go the player's head, although with taxes the total fee exceeded £1.1m. This transfer took place in 1979 not 1971.
