PROFILE
 Steve McManaman became the first high profile Liverpool player to
leave the club on a Bosman-style free transfer when he joined Spanish giants Real Madrid
during the summer of 1999.
A winger, blessed with exceptional dribbling skills, McManaman was raised just a
stones throw away from Anfield, in nearby Kirkdale. A boyhood Evertonian he joined the
Reds straight from school and as an apprentice cleaned John Barnes' boots.
He rose through the Anfield ranks and in December 1990 his progress was rewarded
when he made his senior bow, appearing as a second half substitute for Peter Beardsley in
a 2-0 home win against Sheffield United. The opening game of the following season saw him
make his full debut against Oldham Athletic and four days later he scored the first of his
- goals for the Reds in a 2-1 defeat at Maine Road.
He celebrated the end of his first full season in the first team by starring in the
FA Cup final triumph over Sunderland and three years later he shone at Wembley again,
scoring two goals and picking up the man-of-the-match award in the Coca Cola Cup Final
success against Bolton Wanderers.
On the international front, McManaman won his first England cap against Nigeria in
November 1994, coming on as a 25th minute substitute for the injured Robert Lee. His full
debut came against Colombia in September 1995.
A scorer of spectacular goals, as fans of Celtic and Arsenal will testify, his
emergence as one of the games most exciting talents brought him to the attention of
Europe's leading clubs and he almost signed for Barcelona in September 1997.
At the start of the following season he was named club captain but it was to be his
last at Anfield. In July 1999 he opted to sign for Real Madrid and he capped his first
season at the Bernabeu with a stunning strike in the European Cup Final against Valencia.

Claim to fame: Scoring two goals in the 1995 Coca Cola Cup
Final v Bolton W
Did you know? He was the first and so far only Englishman to have
scored for a foreign club in a European Cup/Champions League Final
Where is he now? Hung up his boots after being released from his
contract at Manchester City in May 2005 and has since been working as an advisor on the
film Goal 2
Tony Barrett on Steve McManaman: "There was a buzz about
McManaman from early on. He comes from Kirkdale and everyone on Scotland Road was talking
about Steve McManaman and from the moment he came into the side you could see why. He had
that ability to beat defenders with ease and with just a drop of the shoulder or a jink he
would be away. He was so naturally talented but it was easy to forget how much work he got
through in a Liverpool shirt. There was no-one who ran more and he was a natural athlete
and he ran and ran and ran."
