Steve McManaman was an Everton fan as a boy but like so many others was a Liverpool player from a young age. His dribbling skills soon marked him out as a future star and he soon broke into the Liverpool 1st team.

He was never a prolific scorer for Liverpool but those he did score tended to be memorable. He failed to sign up for the Gerard Houllier revival, instead choosing the riches of a Bosman free transfer to Real Madrid. It started well enough with a Champions League winners medal but things have turned sour for him.

He has not played much 1st team football for Madrid and Fiorentin Perez, the Madrid president has tried to force him out of the club to save on his massive wages. He is one of two players that Inter Milan have the choice of taking as part of the Ronaldo transfer deal.

A move might be the best thing for him as he would need to be playing regular 1st team football if he is ever to wear the 3 lions of England again. But even then his failure to reproduce his club form in England's colours in the past may count against him.
