Frank McAvennie: Former Celtic & Scotland player picks his team-mates XI

McAvennie enjoyed a prolific partnership with Tony Cottee at West and, on one occasion, their competitiveness got the better of them, as Macca describes…

“The team was just on fire. I came up with this great bet – who could score the best goal? Tony took it, £100 bet. Tony didn’t go out the box. This game playing Aston Villa, he came out the box, 18, 19 yards, bang top corner. I’m delighted because I’m a team player. But obviously I’m a thinking, ‘how am I going to beat that?’ Mark Ward put me through – Nigel Spink’s a big lad. I scooped it and I put it over him. I’m thinking, ‘he’s going to catch it’ but luckily the ball crossed the line, bet was won – brilliant.

“After the game, the manager knew something was up after that chip, made a few enquiries, found out about the bet and fined the two of us £1,000. Never done it again. And I still never got the £100 off Tony Cottee.”
