[272], When the tournament kicked off proper, after a solid start on the wings (swapping interchangeably with Darren Anderton) where McManaman created "all kinds of problems on the left"[273] against the Swiss, McManaman and Sheringham (and later Gascoigne) were then substituted[274] by Venables while England were leading 10 with 15 minutes remaining (to save them for the next game) to a chorus of jeers from the Wembley crowd (at the decision). In Madrid, McManaman is also remembered as "the versatile Englishman". That kind of experience leaves an indelible mark on your mind.

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. [367] McManaman maintained throughout that 'he had agreed to be on the board of BIHL for a role which was "more of a PR exercise". [187] Johan Cruyff described McManaman at the time as the most useful player in the Galcticos because he was "El socio del todos"[188][189] or "everyone's best partner on the pitch". Follow. [265][266], McManaman is sometimes described as an enigma at international level for England. Robbie Fowler Striker and Steve McManaman tried to block claims they had threesome with girl. [32], In 199495, McManaman signed a new million-pound contract, and was given a central, freer role[33] by new manager Roy Evans, who wanted to utilise McManaman's natural running and dribbling ability[34] to drift all over the park. For Madrid, he completed 85% of his dribbles and runs in the league and 83% in Europe but under Eriksson for England he only managed to keep the ball 63% of the timethe general belief for this drop in form when playing for England is simple. McManaman made history by becoming the first player without first-team experience to play for the England under-21 team, being handed a debut call-up by Lawrie McMenemy against Wales at Tranmere in October 1990, two months before he debuted for the Liverpool first-team. Just over two decades ago, former Liverpool, Real Madrid and England football star Steven McManaman and his then girlfriend, barrister Victoria Edwards, bought their first house together in Son Vida. [196], Another great moment in the white of Madrid took place in the 2002 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Barcelona at the Camp Nou on 23 April 2002. His wife is Victoria Edwards (m. 2002) Steve McManaman Net Worth His net worth has been growing significantly in 2020-2021. He had a bad time [towards the end] with achilles pain, but every day he trained with the same attitude. [362] By 2010, McManaman was appointed as a board director at Birmingham City, with fellow director Peter Pannu citing McManaman as being present when some critical board decisions were madea claim which McManaman denied. [219], McManaman was also twice voted as the Real Madrid supporters' favourite player during his tenure at the club. "[353] In December 2011, McManaman was also invited to be a part of the United Nations Development Programme Football Squad by ex-team-mates Zidane and Ronaldo (ambassadors of the UNDP), to take part in a series of friendly matches to raise funds known as Match Against Poverty. [386], The situation was further aggravated by stories of McManaman and best friend Robbie Fowler's lifestyles off the pitch following an interview with the magazine Loaded, which depicted the duo as hedonists[387] and 'scally' characters, as well as stories about McManaman and Fowler's lack of decorum and disruptive influence in the dressing room. 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. Steve McManaman is another who doesn't play the fame game too seriously. England then switched to a defensive 451 formation[275] which saw them concede a late penalty and end up drawing the game 11.[276]. [50], From 1996 through 1998, McManaman consistently won several 'Man of the Match' awards,[51][52] and Premier League managers were forced to deploy a man-marker specifically to follow him for an entire game. [253] Part of the problem stemmed from the fact that to find a role at Madrid he had changed his playing style,[254] cutting down on the flair play (as Madrid had a surfeit of flair players) and instead focusing on being a holding player and making short, simple passes of the ball in central midfield, where he was known for his one-touch passing and ability to never give the ball away. [286], McManaman (and Fowler) were also reported at the time to have been marginalised by Hoddle for not embracing Hoddle's employment of a "faith healer" and mystic named Eileen Drewery, who had been brought in by Hoddle to do psychiatric, vague spiritual or psychological interactions with the players because Hoddle had said she helped him in his career in the past. [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. [208] In 2002, McManaman also turned down a transfer to Internazionale at the time when he was made available for exchange as part of Ronaldo's signing. By 2014, Yeung was convicted of money laundering and Birmingham International was alleged to have been running out of money, leading to its suspension. The company then set up True Product ID as a company to conduct technology joint ventures in China and the company was transferred to McManaman.

[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". [3][4] McManaman is one of the most decorated English footballers to have played for a club abroad and is regarded as one of the best players of his generation, with the UEFA website stating in 2012 that "of all England's footballing exports in the modern era, none was as successful as McManaman". Modelling contracts and deals with fashion labels like Top Man, Hugo Boss and Armani culminated in their collective nickname, the "Spice Boys". From the 201415 season onward, McManaman then returned home to be permanently based in England and also could be regularly seen as a guest on BT Sport's Champions League coverage, and on shows like "Premier League Tonight" with Jake Humphrey. [127], "[McManaman was] the best midfield player in the country for three or four years. He played for England's national team from 1994-2001.
