In 1991, Dean Saunders was hot property. At the time, the Derby County striker had just suffered relegation with The Rams - despite netting 17 goals in the 1990-91 campaign.

His tally didn't go unnoticed, however, and the Welshman caught the attention from a host of top flight clubs. Liverpool, Everton and Nottingham Forest were all interested in acquiring the striker's services.

After meeting with Howard Kendall (Everton's then-boss), Saunders had an appointment with Forest manager and legend Brian Clough in the afternoon.

Taking place at Alan Hill's house, Saunders, who was accompanied by agent Kevin Mason (who he says looked like Robbie Coltrane), met Archie Gemmill and Brian Clough.

What ensues is probably the most bizarre business meeting you'll ever bear witness to.

To give you an idea, the story features Clough on his knees, digging up Hill's flowers, giving Saunders a signed Stuart Pearce shirt and turning up at the striker's house before he's even got back.

Listen to the unbelievable story unfold in the video above.
