More on Frank McAvennie
Description from Wikipedia:
Francis "Frank" McAvennie (born 22 November 1959 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish football striker. He grew up in Milton and attended St Augustine's Secondary. McAvennie started his playing career in Scottish Junior League football. His first senior football club was St Mirren.
Good form saw him sign for West Ham United in 1985 and he formed a formidable partnership with young English striker Tony Cottee and help West Ham reach their highest ever position in English football when they came third in the 85/86 season. He scored 26 goals, one fewer than Gary Lineker, in the English Football League. That West Ham team became known as The Boys of 86.
McAvennie was called into the Scotland national team in December 1985 for the World Cup qualifying play-off with Australia. McAvennie scored on his debut in a 2-0 win. He was subsequently called up to the Scotland national team for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, under Alex Ferguson. In October 1987, he moved back to Scotland with Celtic, for £750,000, helping them win the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Cup double. The Cup Final was particularly memorable for McAvennie as he scored two late goals to beat Dundee United 2-1.
McAvennie returned to West Ham United the following season in a £1.2m deal. According to then Celtic manager Billy McNeill's autobiography, McAvennie wanted to return to London and his model girlfriend Jenny Blyth. McAvennie claims in his autobiography that Celtic were refusing to pay him a signing fee.
During his playing career he reputedly enjoyed a playboy lifestyle involving drink, drugs and a good number of women.
