Can you detail the progression of the British record transfer fee since Trevor Francis?

Sports Mole challenges you to detail the progression of the British record transfer fee since Trevor Francis's famous £1m move in 1979.

The late Trevor Francis became Britain's first £1m footballer when he transferred from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest in February 1979, with the fee believed to be in the region of £1.18m.

The 52-time England international also went on to represent Manchester City, Sampdoria, Atalanta BC, Rangers and Queens Park Rangers before retiring at Sheffield Wednesday in 1994.

Francis famously netted the winning goal for Forest in the 1979 European Cup final against Malmo and also helped the English club lift the trophy the following year.

He later stepped into management, taking charge of QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham and Crystal Palace.

Francis's name will forever be remembered when it comes to British transfers, but can you detail the progression of the British record transfer fee from February 1979 to the present day?
