Error in Casting, Part Fourteen

1- Frank McAvennie and West Ham United 1989/92

Scottish striker Frank McAvennie had a successful spell at West Ham United where the side finished third in 1986. After a spell at Celtic Glasgow, McAvennie re-joined West Ham for a second spell in March 1989.

2- Carlos Secretario and Real Madrid 1996/97

Portuguese right back joined Real Madrid in the summer of 1996 from Porto. However, he failed to settle and made few appearances as Team Manager Fabio Capello’s first choice was the Italian Christian Panucci at the position.

He re-joined Porto midway through the following season in January 1998.

3- Dragan Stojkovic and Olympique Marseille, 1990/91

Yugoslavia midfielder Dragan Stojkovic was a high profile transfer for Olympique Marseille in 1990. He had just finished an excellent World Cup as well and much was expected of him.

However, shortly after joining he suffered a serious injury that sidelined for months and he was not the same player as before once fit.

He was loaned to Verona (1991/92) before returning to OM, but would still not have the desired impact upon his return.
