McManaman scored a crucial goal away at Blackburn Rovers, set up a dramatic injury-time equaliser with a through-ball for Paul Ince to score in front of the Kop against Manchester United,[115] and scored the winner with a "scorching drive"[116] to complete the full turn around result against Tottenham Hotspur after trailing 20 at half-time.

According to El Pas, fans saluted him with their 'white handkerchiefs' (as a terrace favourite) after he scored a long-range high volley from a Roberto Carlos cross against Real Oviedo in 2001. But I think if they put themselves in the same predicament, and the fact that I have been at Liverpool for 12 years and that I would like to test myself in a foreign country, that's understandable. [363], On 4 June 2012, it was announced that McManaman had resigned as an executive director of Birmingham International Holdings, the company that owned Birmingham City. [295], When interviewed by FourFourTwo magazine, McManaman stated, "I think I probably least enjoyed my time when Glenn Hoddle was the manager. "[293], In David Beckham's eponymous autobiography in 2013, Beckham revealed that on the day after the defeat to Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, when he felt all alone and distraught back at the team hotel, it was McManaman (along with Terry Byrne and the England team's masseur, Steve Slattery), who stayed behind to accompany him and play snooker with him late into the night; in order to help take his mind off the fallout of that defeat (having been made the culprit- in getting sent off during that match - by some sections of the media and fans). 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. [256], Off the field at City, Fowler and McManaman were caught up in a sex scandal[257] that appeared in the News of the World following a failed attempt by the pair to gain an injunction to prevent publication, costing them 50,000 in addition to making the case look like an invariable admission of guilt. [87] The court initially ordered McManaman to fulfil his contract, plus an undertaking to pay Umbro's legal costs for launching contempt of court proceedings against him in 1997, which McManaman accepted and apologised for. Man-marked in the quarter-final against Spain, McManaman burst back into the latter part of the semi-final against Germany and in the final moments of extra-time nearly assisted Darren Anderton in scoring a late winner, but Anderton's shot from McManaman's cross hit the post and the ball bounced back into the hands of the goalkeeper. [207], McManaman increasingly saw his playing time reduced each year, as the club initiated their so-called Galctico policy, with new high-profile players like Lus Figo, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo arriving each year and standing above him in the pecking order. Before and during Saturday's game at Anfield he was subjected to some frightful abuse, accused by supporters of both teams of being a "greedy bastard"It is wholly dependent upon your standpoint as to whether McManaman is a sporting trail-blazer enjoying the benefits of a free market or the very personification of the greed which many would argue has devalued football in recent times. [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. "[197] That performance saw McManaman banished from Eriksson's team,[312] as that was his penultimate game; making just one substitute appearance after that in the critical qualifier against Greece in 2001. Keegan eventually decided on deploying McManaman on the left-wing on several occasions in 1999[301] and under Keegan, McManaman finally broke his international goal scoring duck when he scored twice on 4 September 1999 in the 60 Euro 2000 qualifier victory over Luxembourg, again, at Wembley. I wasn't going to prejudice the matter by not playing him; he played until the end of the season and I asked the fans to give him a great send off in the final game against Wimbledon. McManaman's reputation was also not aided by the fact that he was also known for being a serial prankster[330] with Fowler,[331] which did nothing to help new coaches' negative opinions[330][332] about him,[333] with the Spice Boys' image also making it worse, though colleague Gareth Southgate did say McManaman's and Fowler's antics, though "silly", helped foster team spirit. He was part of Liverpool's youth system from 1988 1990. [35][166], Despite the Champions League final performance and having established himself as a valuable player in his first year in Madrid (including being listed alongside Redondo in Real Madrid's technical director Jose Martinez/Pirri's end of season official report as one of the two "untouchables" around whom the team should be built for the coming campaign),[167] the arrival of a new club president in Florentino Prez, closely followed by former Barcelona superstar midfielder Lus Figo in a club-record transfer, saw the club forced to sell several key players to reduce debt. [199] Nonetheless, after only playing 21 games of which he started only nine times, and making a meagre 15 appearances in La Liga, questions constantly arose throughout the season about McManaman's ability and reasons for staying in Spain considering his diminished role, lack of first-team action and international attention. [358], In 2019, McManaman joined La Liga's Managing Director Ivan Codina as representatives to Asia to be present for the inking of La Liga's partnership with Asian cryptocurrency exchange, GCOX, to build its partnership with businesses in Asia and the Middle East. [343], McManaman retired from his playing career after being released by Manchester City in 2005. [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. 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. [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. [104], At the time, in McManaman's final games for the club in the 199899 season, he began turning in mixed performances, with the media accusing him of playing out his final season in a "desultory manner". El Macca 378 subscribers Subscribe 866 Share 213K views 10 years ago Jorge Ramos Interviews Steve. Steve McManaman Personal Life, Relationships and Dating 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. [217], McManaman remains popular in Madrid. He is identified as the most decorated and well-behaved English footballer who played for a club abroad. [48] McManaman was also said to have been one of only a handful of so-called "talismanic" players along with Eric Cantona[49] and Gianfranco Zola in the league at the time believed to have the charisma to lift supporters from their seats each time they got the ball. "[113], At the time, McManaman also suffered personal tragedy when his mother Irene, passed away aged 50 after a long battle against cancer. [341] Additionally, McManaman's role as the playmaking lynchpin in the side meant that scoring statistics alone would not measure his contributions, because even in games where he would not get a goal or an assist, he would often have started the move or delivered the key pass or two in the lead up. [53][54] The then Middlesbrough manager, Bryan Robson, was quoted as saying that "everyone in the Premiership knows that if you stop McManaman, you stop Liverpool". The 44-year-old initially tried to offload the property in February 2014, but found no takers for 6.9m. [136][137], In 2012, as part of the FA Premier League 20 Seasons Awards, Steve McManaman was named on the shortlist for the award of best right midfielder,[138] which was eventually won by Cristiano Ronaldo. [203][204], Having won eight trophies and having played in 11 cup finals in four years as well as consistently making the semi-finals of the Champions League in each of his four years at the club, McManaman is the most successful English football export to ever play overseas (not just in Spain) in terms of trophies. New videos will be released often! [390] By 1998, following the success of his well-regarded columns, he also began writing monthly pieces for Esquire magazine. "[106], Hoddle stated in interviews that he wanted McManaman to take up that very licence to be the bridge between David Beckham and Paul Gascoigne,[284] and often spoke highly of McManaman's ability, but noted that McManaman's best position was "floating" dangerously and it was hard to fit him into a system to suit the team[285] and so he often selected Paul Merson and the rising Beckham instead. By 200405, McManaman's time at City was ultimately deemed a disappointment and he was increasingly vilified by City fans,[249] who later jeered him off the pitch[250] following a draw with Norwich City. McManaman's free role for England was shortlived as he played only once in Euro 2000, scoring the last of his three England goals in the opening game against Portugal, where he put England 20 ahead (with a volley off Beckham's cross) after only 18 minutes, but got injured early in the second half whilst making a tackle on Rui Costa in midfield,[305] forcing a tactical switch. He got married to his long-time girlfriend Victoria Edwards in 2002, and since then they are living together. [228][229], In a tribute to McManaman, four years after he left the club, ex-coach Vicente del Bosque told Spanish newspaper AS Marca, that McManaman and Geremi were the two most important players in his squad, because "together they kept the whole team united". Pitched unwittingly into the mayhem, McManaman must feel as if he has left the Spice Boys for Oasis. I mean, he would mention Alan Shearer and other major opposing players in team talks but never with any fear. In one of his starts, he scored a brace against AEK Athens in the Champions League. The properties of Steve's family are located in Bay of Palma, London, and Cheshire. 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. [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. Steve McManman is currently a co-commentator on ESPN and BT Sport's football coverage and a La Liga ambassador. [103], In 2021, McManaman finally shed new light on his decision to leave Liverpool back in 1999, claiming that a combination of factors including being underappreciated at Liverpool - having not been offered the right contractual deal (as the club presumed on his staying on indefinitely simply because he was a local talent thus only sanctioning higher offers commensurate with his true value when they realised he would actually leave); and that the club were poor in communicating and handling his matters including selling him to FC Barcelona (without consulting him at all) - were all behind his decision back then. John Barnes spoke about McManaman in his autobiography in 1999 as "probably the greatest individual talent in English football and has to be presented the correct way",[300] and Keegan gave several interviews in 1999 backing up that point; adding that he was finding out how best to utilise McManaman. In that 1992 FA Cup Final where Liverpool triumphed 20 against Sunderland, McManaman was also named the man of the match having set up the winner for Michael Thomas[15] despite being the youngest player on the pitch. [13] McManaman was said to be natural athlete and cross country champion at school level.[14]. In 2021, McManaman became ABC and ESPN's lead La Liga co-commentator alongside long time partner, Ian Darke. Jamie Carragher defended McManaman in his autobiography, stating that at the time: "Despite being accused of greed, Macca also lost money to secure the move. [157] McManaman and the team then returned to Spain and established themselves as the side that went all the way to the 2000 Champions League final under new coach Vicente del Bosque, who had replaced John Toshack in November. The couple met while they were at Madrid and tied their knots on 7 July 2002, in Mallorca's Palma Cathedral. [88] A year on, however, McManaman continued to dishonour the deal. 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).
