[345], In October 2006, McManaman played in a charity match for Liverpool Legends against Celtic Legends. McManaman was noted by pundits for his "mesmerising dribbling skills" and willingness to take players on[277] and Gary McAllister claimed in the BBC's post-match analysis of England's next game (against Scotland) that it was Venables' change of England's tactics at half-time to switch to a 5-man midfield[278] and introduce Jamie Redknapp into the midfield, that allowed McManaman the freedom to open the Scottish defence up and this changed the game; with Redknapp and McManaman unlocking the openings which led to Gary Neville's cross for Alan Shearer's headed opener (in the 20 win). 2: Living The Dream Steve McManaman interview", Nash, soccer star Henry among players in charity soccer match, "EFPA European Former Football Players Associations EFPA Players", "It's time to admit football is pure evil", "NY Cosmos Star Raul kicks For A Good Cause", "Footballers take part in Shoot for Love Challenge", "Football Masters Roll Back the Years to Entertain Kallang Faithful", "LaLiga Ambassadors McManaman | Liga de Ftbol Profesional", "Spreading the word of La Liga is 'vitally important' - McManaman", "LaLiga & GCOX Seal Partnership for Asia and the Middle East, Business Insider", "Carson Yeung Promises To Spend 5 Million On Players For Birmingham City", "Birmingham City face questions as emails show Peter Pannu's cash demands", "Yeung told to hand over Peak house - the Standard", "The Listing Committee of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited censures the following parties for breaching the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited", "Hong Kong trading in Birmingham City holdings company suspended after online tirade by director", "ERG tight-lipped on $26m smartcard deal with porn site boss", "Setanta's Steve McManaman willing Liverpool to title glory", "McManaman: I'm passing on what I learned from 'Bugsy' to LFC Academy kids", "Liverpool F.C. [233] McManaman later encouraged Welsh footballer Gareth Bale to sign for Madrid a decade later,[234] and upon Bales signing, he gave Bale advice on how to succeed at Madrid. That kind of experience leaves an indelible mark on your mind. "[231] McManaman was also listed in Spanish-based British sports reporter Sid Lowe's Real Madrid Team of the Decade for the 2000s. [29][30], In the 199394 season, McManaman showed fine form with two goals against Swindon Town and some assists including a spectacular run and assist against Tottenham Hotspur. [360], Also in 2019, McManaman commenced his role as a FIFA ambassador, and began with a visit to Cambodia. David McManaman, Steve's father, used to help his own dad out with his business in the back streets of Liverpool as a kid. "They are adored. [35][36] The 199495 season also proved to be a turning point for Liverpool after the lack of success during the previous two seasons. [272], When the tournament kicked off proper, after a solid start on the wings (swapping interchangeably with Darren Anderton) where McManaman created "all kinds of problems on the left"[273] against the Swiss, McManaman and Sheringham (and later Gascoigne) were then substituted[274] by Venables while England were leading 10 with 15 minutes remaining (to save them for the next game) to a chorus of jeers from the Wembley crowd (at the decision). Tommy joined the station in February 1993. Excluding Terry Venables and Kevin Keegan, every England manager decided to utilise McManaman's talents sparingly. Website visit and read more. [388] McManaman's columns were known for articulating opinions on matters from a player's perspective,[389] and in one particular column, discussed the issue of how the Bosman ruling impacted the future of the English game with "cut-price imports" that threatened local development, while also proposing the increasing of odds for smaller teams to beat big clubs by having the League Cup reduced to a single leg affair, thus enabling players to be better rested as well. For instance, I did get to go to the World Cup even though I only played for 17 minutes. [391], Together with Robbie Fowler, McManaman has invested in several racehorses through a company named The Macca and Growler Partnership, their most prolific horse being Seebaldtrained by Martin Pipe and raced by jockey Tony McCoywinner of 2003 Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Celebration Chase.

[142] In June 2022, Liverpool's elite fan website, "This is Anfield" placed McManaman at number 4 of the top 10 players with the most assists in Liverpool FC's history; ranking only behind John Barnes, Steven Gerrard and Sir Kenny Dalglish. [190] McManaman's partnership role functioned as one of a "perpetual motion style (that) moved defenders out of position and allowed the (Galatico) superstars to flourish". Later that year, McManaman "chose not to play" in the game against Sweden by calling the FA to have himself dropped from the squad,[317] before assistant coach at the time, Tord Grip said: "McManaman has never really played well for England". [291], McManaman made a total of four starts in seven appearances under Hoddle,[292] and only one appearance at the 1998 World Cup against Colombia, as a substitute for Paul Scholes. STEVE McManaman says that the devastating loss of his mother Irene to breast cancer will haunt him forever. By 1995, McManaman was accused of struggling to repeat his fine club form with his country, drawing comparisons to his mentor at Liverpool, John Barnes. McManaman made history by becoming the first player without first-team experience to play for the England under-21 team, being handed a debut call-up by Lawrie McMenemy against Wales at Tranmere in October 1990, two months before he debuted for the Liverpool first-team. There seems to be far less jobs available for the younger guys. "The galacticos are treated like royalty in Spain,'' says Victoria. Steve McManaman, one of England's most decorated footballers, joined ESPN fulltime in August 2010 as the primary match analyst for Barclays Premier League and studio analyst for international matches on ESPN networks in the United States. Despite only playing 17 minutes, the press described McManaman's performance: "In 17 minutes did enough to demonstrate that his dainty dribbling could yet be influential against miserly defences. McManaman left Anfield in 1999 to sign for Los Blancos, at which point Fowler was a team-mate of the midfielder on Merseyside. [395] From November 2019, McManaman began writing an exclusive bi-monthly op-ed column for British Horse Racing website, Horseracing.net. In Madrid, McManaman is also remembered as "the versatile Englishman". [72], McManaman had been named Liverpool stand-in captain at the start of the 1997-98 season,[3][13] but contract negotiations continued to flounder as the club could not match the sums available to McManaman if he left as a free agent at the end of the following campaign. [20][21] McManaman was deployed as a left- or right-sided forward, backing the club's new signing Dean Saunders[22]a move Saunders reluctantly accepted at first, having realised that Souness "had [no choice but] to bring kids like McManaman into the team before they were properly ready. Steve McManman has 2 daughters Ella and Lara McManman and a son Lucas James. [65] By the end of the saga, Barcelona had signed Rivaldo after Sir Bobby Robson changed his mind (he had earlier told LFC vice-chairman Peter Robinson that he wanted the player)[64] and intervened and told Louis van Gaal that he decided McManaman was "a cosmetic player who would not score 18 goals a season for Barcelona",[66] while McManaman himself, albeit expressing that he was surprised Liverpool were willing to sell him in the first place, stated that he had no desire to leave Liverpool and with two years left on his contract was simply not in any rush to sign a new one. We are just here to play football. [209] It was widely reported in the Spanish media that McManaman's resilience to the team won the respect of his fellow professionals like Ral, Zidane, Guti, Ivn Helguera and his two best friends at the club, Figo and Ronaldo,[210] who backed him publicly on several occasions in press interviews. [5][6] He is currently a co-commentator on ESPN and BT Sport's football coverage and a La Liga ambassador. [88] A year on, however, McManaman continued to dishonour the deal. [336][337] In October 2016, McManaman was nominated for the award of England's best dribbler of all time, an award eventually won by Sir Stanley Matthews. Over his 11 years as an England international, McManaman played in many tournaments such as the UEFA Euro 1996 and the FIFA World Cup 1998. [37] For his second Wembley final appearance in succession he was awarded man of the match, earning the Alan Hardaker Trophy and a tribute from guest of honour, celebrated veteran winger Sir Stanley Matthews,[38] who had a personal word with McManaman before the final, saying: "I like the way you dribble,"[39] adding [to the press] after the final, "He reminds me of me when I was playing[40] I wish there are more dribblers like him. [1] He grew up as an Everton supporter,[9] with his boyhood heroes in football being the Everton players Bob Latchford and Duncan McKenzie. [386], The situation was further aggravated by stories of McManaman and best friend Robbie Fowler's lifestyles off the pitch following an interview with the magazine Loaded, which depicted the duo as hedonists[387] and 'scally' characters, as well as stories about McManaman and Fowler's lack of decorum and disruptive influence in the dressing room. In this match of huge proportions, due to El Clsico being a massive game in its own right, but also the fact that it was a Champions League semi-final, McManaman appeared as a second-half substitute to score a critical goal in second-half injury time to secure a 20 first-leg advantage, chipping over goalkeeper Roberto Bonano after being played in by Flvio Conceio, after Zidane had scored the first goal on 55 minutes. When Mark Lawrenson and Jim Beglin named McManaman in their team of the 1990s, they said that most managers in the league used the same tactic of marking McManaman to stop Liverpool and whilst it was a tremendous compliment to McManaman,[133] the opposition could stop Liverpool because the tactical system of 352 or 3412 was too dependent on McManaman and would fail if McManaman was off form, or if the team was not complemented by a quality defence (players who could play both wingback and centre half to cope with onslaughts), or the presence of a steely defensive midfielder, which was what happened with the team of that time. [155] Youngsters Wright-Phillips, Joey Barton, Stephen Ireland and Lee Croft cited McManaman as a major motivating influence on them. [355], In 2017, McManaman joined the Liverpool Masters team on their "Battle of the Masters Asia Tour" (along with the Arsenal Masters team), and played and scored his last goal for the Masters team in Singapore. He had his ways of training and ways of acting and all managers have different ways of doing things; it's the same with club managers. I think he's fantastic, he's certainly a great asset from our point of viewWe don't pick the England team but I see him as the perfect linkman in the international team. [343], McManaman retired from his playing career after being released by Manchester City in 2005. McManaman was capped 37 times for England and scored three goals. Steve McMananman is a married man; he dated his girlfriend Victoria Edwards, a barrister and law lecturer at the Autonomous University of Madrid for a long time after knowing each other in 2002. It was not my fault Macca left. [78] In January 1999, it was reported that McManaman was talking to Real with the player reportedly offered 60,000 a week and nearly 2million as a signing-on fee. "[353] In December 2011, McManaman was also invited to be a part of the United Nations Development Programme Football Squad by ex-team-mates Zidane and Ronaldo (ambassadors of the UNDP), to take part in a series of friendly matches to raise funds known as Match Against Poverty. "They are adored. Other factors for his loss of form included his later being restricted to substitute appearances (as Houllier wanted to cut the side's dependency on his gameplay and replace him,[4]) as well as suffering a loss of confidence in certain games where even the home fans turned against him over the contract debacle, with some labelling him a "traitor" and a Judas figure. Defeat to Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in three title races (from 1995-96 through 1996-97) including the 1996 FA Cup final, a game where the Liverpool team arrived to inspect the pitch wearing cream coloured Armani suits- intensified the criticism. The show was finally cancelled in favour of "Football Matters", a live late-Monday-night discussion show hosted by James Richardson and Rebecca Lowe. His preferred position, however, was that of a more offensive and creative attacking midfielder,[335] an uncommon position in the Premier League throughout his career. [132] In 2013, McManaman was named #20 in the official Liverpool website's second "100 Players Who Shook the Kop" list, rising by two positions. Steve McManaman returned home last year as England's most decorated foreign export, having had a terrific time. It proved a successful decision as McManaman began mesmerising defences with runs that were later to become hallmarks of the Liverpool side of the 1990s. [180][181], Real Madrid's hierarchy's change toward McManaman began when Del Bosque gave him his first appearance of the 200001 season as a substitute in a 33 draw against Mlaga in mid-September. But that's only our opinion. Steve McManaman. [3] As an apprentice, McManaman was under the mentoring of John Barnes and many regarded McManaman as a player who could potentially replace Barnes in the future. Modelling contracts and deals with fashion labels like Top Man, Hugo Boss and Armani culminated in their collective nickname, the "Spice Boys". Moreover, her body height measurements stand at 6 feet 0 inch (1.83m). In England's World Cup qualifier against Albania at St James' Park last September, four days after Munich, he made a fleeting appearance of such apparent apathy that even he was taken aback, never mind Eriksson. [126] McManaman is also ranked fifth on the Premier League all-time assists charts for number of games it took for a player to make 100 assists, and also in terms of being the fifth-youngest player to make 100 assists in Premier League history, with only Thierry Henry, Cesc Fbregas, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham above him on the list. [64] The deal subsequently fell apart amidst recriminations about the player's remuneration demands and Barcelona's motives for the bid, being in negotiation with Brazilian superstar Rivaldo at the same time and snubbing McManaman when he travelled to Spain to meet them. Zidane went on to state England had made a mistake and described McManaman as one of the highest quality players he ever played with. [393] "El Macca" is five years old as of 2018 and is owned by JP McManus. You never want your top players to leave the club. [349], In 2010, McManaman became an ambassador for UEFA alongside Christian Karembeu in its Champions League Trophy World Tour, as well as at the Madrid Festival leading up to the 2010 Champions League final at the Santiago Bernabu Stadium. [205] McManaman was also listed as sixth on a list of the highest-earning footballers in the world in 2001 produced by Forbes,[206] and is believed to have gained an estimated 15million (just under 10.25 million) to 14million in his four years with Madrid. In 2021, McManaman became ABC and ESPN's lead La Liga co-commentator alongside long time partner, Ian Darke. He had a bad time [towards the end] with achilles pain, but every day he trained with the same attitude. At the time, however, McManaman was known for his dogged determination to stay positive for the club's cause, even if it meant he had less playing time. [citation needed] In 2004, certain journalists even called for McManaman to be included in the Euro 2004 squad, arguing that McManaman's experience would have been worth his inclusion in the side alone,[247] but to no avail as McManaman himself decided to retire shortly after. Steve McManman's marital status is married. [286], McManaman (and Fowler) were also reported at the time to have been marginalised by Hoddle for not embracing Hoddle's employment of a "faith healer" and mystic named Eileen Drewery, who had been brought in by Hoddle to do psychiatric, vague spiritual or psychological interactions with the players because Hoddle had said she helped him in his career in the past. [73] Having been overlooked by Glenn Hoddle for the 1998 FIFA World Cup starting lineup, denounced in the English media as being greedy and bolstered by advice from the likes of fellow professionals Paul Ince, Paul Gascoigne, David Platt and Chris Waddle,[74] McManaman publicly announced his desire to play abroad,[75] explaining: "I have always said I would love the chance to play abroad and now that chance has come along. [43][44] By now, McManaman was ranked as one of the finest midfielders in England and had developed a strong reputation on the European stage following UEFA Euro 1996,[45] earning praise from many at the time including Kevin Keegan, who said "there are few finer sights in world football than the sight of Steve McManaman running down the length of the pitch". I feel sorry for new players like Steve McManaman coming into the club. Jamie Carragher, Steve McManaman and Brentford's Ben Mee join 80 of the UK's top clubs in 'Green Football Weekend' as the sport fights back against climate change [69], In early 1998, Barcelona returned with yet another bid for McManaman,[70] and former Deportivo La Coruna president Augusto Csar Lendoiro later added that Barcelona did not want to sign his former player Rivaldo and that they had (initially) wanted McManaman, and put it down to a "coincidence" that they pulled out and opted for Rivaldo instead,[71] with it being notable that the fact Barcelona came back again in 1998 (after having already signed Rivaldo five months earlier) had stood as evidence of that point. [258] The court case came soon after football's "roasting" and rape allegations at Chelsea earlier that year[259] and served only to exacerbate their situations and affected their reputations off and on the pitch at the club, while an incident involving Fowler and McManaman and three other players deliberately missing the team bus at Leicester also did not go down well with the fans, manager and media. [384] He worked Euro 2020 in the studio for ESPN mostly alongside Alessandro Del Piero, Craig Burley, and Rece Davis.

However, this form faltered following a drop in confidence after an incident with Bruce Grobbelaar towards the end of a Merseyside derby, when the players exchanged blows after Grobelaar lambasted McManaman for a poor clearance[31] which led to a goal being conceded (an incident later named as one of the top five bust-ups between team-mates in Premier League history). [191], A further honour was also extended on the pitch by the club in December 2002, whereas part of Madrid's Centenary Celebrations, McManaman was made the first Englishman to captain Real Madrid in a game against a FIFA World XI, to the applause of the ultras,[192] with whom he had always been a cult favourite,[193][194][195] and where the group is sometimes also known as the Ultra South (or "Ultrasurs"). Steven McManaman, sometimes nicknamed Macca, (born 11 February 1972) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City. [322][323], Support for McManaman also came before the 2002 World Cup in the British media, after Sky Sports published an article based on OPTA statistics, revealing that despite a poor goalscoring record, McManaman had, in fact, an 88% dribbling completion rate (having embarked on a run every 17 minutes), and an 84% pass completion rate, all three of which were higher by over 15% than any English midfield Premiership player at the time. who is Steve McManaman's wife?
