Steve McManaman - Legend or big time charlie????????
RedSince86:
Brilliant player, remember being gutted he was on the brink of going to Barcelona, was so glad that moved never happened, he was pretty good that final season, didn't begrudge him going to Real.
Was so good with the ball at his feet, he loved that free role Roy Evans gave him, such a pity him and Fowler didn't win more trophies together.

Weren’t Barca dicking him and us about a bit? Think they signed Rivaldo but used their interest in him to get the deal done. And we may have been open to accepting the money. All a bit hazy now!

From what I remember, we agreed a £12m fee with Barcelona but Macca couldn’t agree personal terms. I think he knew he’d be able to leave on a free in the summer so he was expecting the kind of wages a free signing could request.

Think that was the summer of 97 so he stayed another 2 seasons with us.
Alan B'Stard:
He was my favourite player along with Fowler and Rob Jones.
His creativity and ability to carry the ball was so effective for that team. That mid 90s team really was talented and I'd say on par with Utd. We just wasn't as consistent as them and massively underachieved.
