The Chilean defender struggled to settle in English football and opted to take matters into his own hands when the decision was taken to leave
Harry Redknapp has revealed that enigmatic defender Javier Margas secured his exit from West Ham by escaping through a hotel window.
The Chilean linked up with the Hammers in 1998, having graced that summer’s World Cup finals in France.
He struggled in English football, however, with his family failing to settle and regular game time proving hard to come by.
Margas had been a decorated performer during his career in South America, winning four league titles with Colo Colo.
