If Brian Clough only paid 999999 pounds for Trevor Francis who was the first true 1 million pound soccer player?

Although Brian Clough did only pay £999,999 for Francis, after other costs the price did come to over £1 million, he did not want the tag of "1st million pound football player" going to Francis head, but Clough played him in the wrong position and did not get his moneys worth, I am not sure who the 1st true million pound player was though. I believe THAT would therefore be STEVE DALEY when he was transferred from Wolves to Manchester City for £1,450,000 in September 1979, followed a few days later by Wolves then using that money to buy Andy Gray from Aston Villa for £1.469,000. I do believe that Trevor Francis fee actually came to about £1,150,000 in total. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progression_of_British_football_transfer_fee_record
