11) Frank Roberts

Born in 1893, English footballer Frank Roberts was a scoring machine throughout his footballing career. Roberts began his career at his local side Sandbach Villa, and changed clubs several times before joining City. At one point, Roberts was transferred to Bolton Wanderers for a sum of only £200.

In 1922, Roberts joined Manchester City for £3,400, which isn’t much by today’s standards for even lower tier football clubs, but was an egregious amount at the time. For comparison, an average house in 1922 cost about $7,000.

Roberts was prolific for City, scoring 130 goal over the course of his career for the team, but never lived up to his expectations within the English national team. Roberts appeared promising in the British Home Championship when he scored twice for England, leading them to beat Wales 2-1. However he eventually lost his spot in the squad, and ended his national career with only those 2 goals to his name.
