He was the One player Sir Alex Ferguson Feared

Watching him back then, he reminded me so much of Beardsley, whom Souness had let go from Liverpool. I can only imagine how much more Macca would have grown having Beardsley in the same side. Letting some of Dalglish's players leave, I feel to stamp his own print on Liverpool, cost Souness, and young lads like Macca that came through.

When I was a kid at school the footballing debates were about who was better; Giggs or McManaman

"Unstoppable"? I feel like I'm being trolled. Noodle legs had so much talent in the way of dribbling, but could never produce any consistent crossing, goal scoring or involvment in the game, he also had zero defensive capability.
He was basically, Ryan Giggs lite!

Hes like tall coutinho

PAYED? is that a new word? I always thought is was PAID.

Cracking player but somewhat inconsistent. Steve McManaman is a prime example of why you don't build a team around one player if you want to be seriously successful at the top level.

England has always had terrible habit of ignoring their best English player for the national team. Glenn Hoddle, Matt Le Tisser, and Steve McManaman.

I would have thought that the player was Robbie Fowler. He was an absolute goal machine.

he was liverpool's zidane at that time.

always luv him at Liverpool .... I got no issues with him moving to Madrid .... we are shit under Souness and Evans

Absolutely agree …..Macca was a world great at Madrid ….

He waighed under 60 kg. Could run like a kenyan. Sub 30 min for 6 miles is the rumours...

Mc manaman was world class

Broke my heart when and how Macca left.

He was bubble gum and never forgiven for effin off

As a liverpool fan i was pretty bitter when he left us for free. I always felt not getting a proper fee for Owen and no money for Macca set us back as were were not able to replace either of them with players of a similar level of quality. It hurt as a fan because at the time it told me they did not respect the club or the fans who had put them where they were, only their own personal careers/achievements. I still believe this. However watching this made me remember what a player he could be on his day and why i was so gutted when he chose to pursue his career at a bigger club leaving us to 20 years of mediocrity.

Here here underated to the max absolutely brilliant player never ever gave up🏆

SM and Gascoigne were superb in 1996

Zola was the player Fergie feared. He’s said so himself.

He’s no Liverpool legend he never won shit with us and I hate his commentary

"...after being dumped out by Bristol."

Show some respect.
Would you say after being dumped out by Manchester?
After being dumped out by Sheffield?

Shaggy was a brilliant player, unfortunately in poor Liverpool sides in his time in a red shirt.
I think many reds forget how good he actually was.

*paid

Goals aren’t his job.
He wasn’t the striker.

Really?….. him? Ok he was a decent player, but he was hardly a world beater.

One of the most HATED ex Liverpool players ever. Foreign fans will never understand this only scousers will understand this

Payed…

Steve Mcmanman is the best

The fact ppl actually thought Beckham was better than macca is fkin mental this lad could do anything if he was Brazilian the world would go mental

He's a gr8 player giggs

How Liverpool didn’t make the most of having ‘stars’ like McManaman and Fowler in the 90s, (not to mention other top class players), is an absolute disgrace.

The team had ‘bags of attacking flair’, but defensively, they were as brittle as balsa wood, with none more so than the pathetic keeper, ‘David ‘Calamity’ James.

R9 was the player

Did he score in a champions league final against valencia for real before ?

Overrated English shi

I love Macca

The Nicole Kidman of football

He was underated no one speaks about him

Ryan Giggs scored way more

My favorite player after Fowler 🤟

Subbed just for the love ya put into this. Well done lad ❤

Shit, overrated player who never turned out for England. 37 caps for England, only 3 goals and mostly anonymous. Wank.

Forgotten for a good reason

Superb player that astonishingly never gets the attention he deserves like alot of players from his era.

He played with R9.....

Should be talked about in the same way Gareth Bale is now.

If you saw Mcmananan’s performances for England post 96 you’d understand why he didn’t get much of a look in. He was abysmal

Sorry grahan1979. Do you know where he ended up?

Always enjoy your stories. Macca leyenda del Real Madrid ❤
