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.
However, this second spell was disappointing and he left on a free
transfer to Aston Villa in 1992.

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.

4- Robert
Fleck and Chelsea 1992/95
Scottish
striker Robert Fleck joined Chelsea in 1992 from Norwich City for a significant
sum (£2.1 million). However, he failed to settle and spent
three uneventful seasons before rejoining Norwich City in September 1995.

5- Juan
Pablo Sorin and Juventus 1995/96
Teenage Argentina
International Juan Pablo Sorin joined Juventus from Argentinos Juniors in the
summer of 1995.
However, he
failed to make an impact and within months returned to Argentinean Football and
River Plate to earn more playing time.
The meetings were
minimal in this decade, but the first one during the 1982 World Cup in Spain
was controversial.
Spain
were awarded a penalty kick after Pericho Alonso was fouled by Zajec.
Television replays showed that the foul had actually occurred outside the box.
Ufarte
missed the penalty kick, however the referee ordered it to be retaken because
Dragan Pantelic had moved before the kick was taken.
Juanito
took the second kick and scored.
This
drew criticism from observers as proof that the authorities were favoring the
host country to advance.

1990s
The
sides met twice within weeks in 1990. The second one a World Cup match marked
Dragan Stojkovic’s double strike that eliminated Spain.
After
the war that split Yugoslavia, the sides were paired for the 1998 World Cup
Qualifiers. The first one in 1996 was during the first season of the Bosman
ruling. It was billed as a match that the Spanish players had to show their
worth against foreign players.
