George Reynolds, former Darlington owner, had a dream. He was looking to build a 25,000-seater stadium and get the club into the Premier League.

A former bare-knuckle boxer and convicted safecracker, he had amassed his fortune in manufacturing kitchen worktops. Reynolds knew that he would have to spend big money wisely on big footballers – so he went for a character just as large-as-life as himself. 

Faustino Asprilla reportedly moved to Newcastle United because he heard it was by the sea – and thus assumed it had bikini-clad locals flocking, too. He was unveiled as a Darlo player, though the deal never actually happened with Tino eventually ghosting his new club.
