Portsmouth defender Sylvain Distin has spoken of the how he turned down more money in Greece to play for Pompey.
He could have received more money by moving to Olympiakos, but chose Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth.
He told L'Equipe magazine: "I was a free agent after Manchester City so I could negotiate very good wages with the club which wanted me.
"There were four clubs following me. City wanted to keep me, and there were Newcastle, Portsmouth and Olympiakos.
"If I had chosen money, I would be in Greece!"
