In 1983 Liverpool were English champions and had reached an agreement to sign Brondby's teenage sensation Michael Laudrup, but it fell apart as retrofootballblog.com explains.
He wanted to join them, he was a Liverpool fan, but ultimately the deal didn't materialise because Laudrup didn't like it when the club attempted to alter the agreement.
Personal terms were settled, but the Reds came back and said they wanted the contract changed so the player's deal ran for four years instead of three.
Laudrup said no, Liverpool didn't relent and the 19-year-old joined Juventus before spells at both Barcelona and Real Madrid in addition to starring for Denmark at the 1986 World Cup.
