The Scottish forward had two spells at West Ham between 1985 and 1992. His attitude on the pitch lead him to become popular amongst supporters, while his off-field antics made him popular with the press.

His goals and partnership with Tony Cottee helped secure the club’s highest top flight finish, and his commitment to choose a move back to the Boleyn over a move to Arsenal endeared him further to fans.

Branded East End’s version of George Best, for his playboy persona, McAvennie remains a cult figure amongst Hammers’ supporters.
