My Take
What draws me to Frank McAvennie is the rhythm of his career: two spells each at St Mirren, West Ham, and Celtic. A player who keeps getting invited back is a player people genuinely want around, and that loyalty says more to me than any stat line. His goal contributions to Celtic's 1987-88 title and the 1988 Scottish Cup mark him as a striker who delivered when it counted. Five Scotland caps may look modest, but a Glasgow-born forward returning home to win silverware is a proper football story. I admire grafters like him who carry their city's edge onto the pitch.
