PROFILE
Liverpool mad Jason McAteer had his dreams come true in September 1995 when he
joined his boyhood heroes from Bolton Wanderers in a J4.5 million deal.
Roy Evans had been impressed with McAteer's performances during his Bolton days,
especially during the 1995 Coca Cola Cup Final at Wembley when his energetic midfield
display caught the eye.
However, when he arrived at Anfield Evans played him as a right sided wing back
switching Rob Jones to left back, due to the midfield pairing of Jamie Redknapp and John
Barnes.
The role worked well in the early days with McAteer forging a good partnership down
the right with Steve McManaman. He was energetic and could get up and down the line well
supporting the attack.
He suffered from inconsistency with his crosses, with the 1996 FA Cup Final against
Manchester United being a prime example, in what was a major disappointing day for
Liverpool, white suits and all.
McAteer continued to be an integral part of Roy Evans team but the writing was on
the wall for him once Gerard Houllier came to Anfield. His final game for Liverpool was a
substitute appearance, ironically in his favoured central midfield role as a replacement
for Paul Ince, in the ill fated 2-1 FA Cup fourth round defeat by Manchester United at Old
Trafford.
McAteer helped Blackburn back into the Premiership in 2001 before joining
Sunderland in October 2001.
