Can you name every player to have broken the record transfer fee since 1973?

Johan Cruyff was the last sub-£1m player to break the world-record transfer fee - how many of the 22 players to have been the world's most expensive since can you name?

Johan Cruyff's legacy in football continues to be keenly felt four years to the day since his death, with the Dutch icon's philosophies going a long way to shape football over the past 50 years.

Among his many other accolades, the attacker became the world's most expensive player when he joined Barcelona from Ajax for a fee of £922,000 in 1973.
