Former Highlanders and Warriors goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar was offered a cow, a goat and a sheep as signing on fee by Highlanders, Zimbabwe Focus reported.
The details are extracted from a Red Machine, a book about untold stories of the Liverpool Boot Room which is serialised by UK's Telegraph.
In an interview with a British publication, the Telegraph, "The Jungleman" said "They offered me a cow, a goat and a sheep,"
"Then the second question was whether we wanted them alive or to collect them at the abattoir. We took the goat alive and the other two dead. My mum went with me to pick them up and for the first time genuinely started to talk with the blacks. She realised they were just as normal as us."
Grobbelaar was part of the famous Dream Team.
Grobbelaar joined Liverpool in April 1981 after a spell playing in Canada.
