THIS WEEK'S £300,000 sale of goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik to Peterborough United takes its place at number four on the list of Torquay United's biggest ever transfer windfalls.

Only St Vincent-born crowd-pleaser Rodney Jack, who cost Crewe Alexandra £650,000 in 1998, goalkeeper Matthew Gregg and promotion-winning striker David Graham have commanded bigger fees than Olejnik, who was a free transfer from Scottish First Division club Falkirk only a year ago.

    “£300,000 not nearly enough for Bobby, but I do understand that we are a selling club. From this little bit of the popside, many thanks for your sterling work this past season, Bobby, and every success at the Posh (and upwards).”
