Three Harry Redknapp signings featuring in our top four - who would have thought it? In Redknapp's defence, he deserves credit for being able to beat off competition for Javier Margas after the 1998 World Cup, but like with a number of other imports from abroad, the Chilean centre-back saw his stock go downhill after arriving at West Ham. He made just 24 Premier League appearances during three seasons, with some of that time spent back in his homeland without the permission of his club. Margas never adapted to life in England or the rigours of the Premier League, and he announced his retirement after finishing with West Ham. He won six league titles in Chile and made 63 appearances for his national team, but of course, what is he remembered for? Failing to live up to expectations at West Ham.
