Spector, 24, had played just twice for the Hammers this season, but was given the start on Tuesday against Manchester United, of all teams, in a League Cup quarterfinal at London's Upton Park. And he was put in central midfield.
Spector, of course, is a right back. But with several players out injured and normal midfield starter Lars Jacobsen ineligible because he already appeared for Blackburn in this season's edition of England's second-tier cup competition, West Ham manager Avram Grant opted to get creative.
When your team is dead last in the Premier League, a match like Tuesday's affords a coach the opportunity to take a few chances.
