Error in Casting, Part Thirteen

1- Ian Wallace and Nottingham Forest 1980/84 and Brest 1984/85

Scottish striker Ian Wallace joined Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest side in 1980 for a then hefty sum (£1.25 million). In his four seasons there he was unable to justify the sum and was sold to French club Brest ijn 1984 for a a fraction of that price (£100,000).

His spell at Brest (1984/85) was also disappointing and he left in midseason to join Sunderland.

2- Edgar Davids and AC Milan 1996/97

Dutch midfielder Edgar Davids was one of the first well known Bosman free transfers after he joined AC Milan with fellow Ajax Teammate Michael Reiziger in 1996. However, his spell there was disappointing under successive managers Oscar Washington Tabarez, Arrigo Sacchi and especially Fabio Capello in the Fall of 1997.

He left midway through the 1997/98 season joining Juventus to jump start his career.
