Steven McManaman (born 11 February 1972) is a retired English footballer who played as a midfielder, winger and playmaker. Having spent his playing career at two of European football's most successful clubs of the 20th century, Liverpool and Real Madrid, as well as a spell at Manchester City, McManaman is the most decorated English footballer to have played at any foreign club in terms of trophies won overseas.

McManaman was the first British player to win the UEFA Champions League title twice, and was also the first English footballer to win the Champions League with a non-English club. In 2008, he was ranked third in a Top 10 of greatest British footballers to play overseas, just behind Kevin Keegan and John Charles.

He is also notable for a contractual saga in the late 1990s, that resulted in his football transfer becoming one of the most controversial and high profile Bosman ruling related transfers of all time, with the deal resulting in McManaman once becoming the highest paid British player in history, for the years 1999 through 2001.

After his retirement as a player in 2005, he became a football pundit for Setanta Sports and was an associate producer on the film Goal! 2. He was an ESPN analyst for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and currently works as an English based in-game analyst alongside Ian Darke for ESPN's US and UK coverage of the FA Premier League, FA Cup and Major League Soccer games.

The greatest goals ever
2.03 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Here we are watching the "Showdown In Chinatown" soccer match sponsored by Steve Nash and his foundation, the Steve Nash Foundation. Nash participated in the game, as well as NBA stars Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Leandro Barbosa, and Raja Bell, as well as soccer stars Thierry Henry, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Salomon Kalou, Claudio Reyna, Mark Stein, Gregg Berhalter, Jozy Altidore, Juan Pablo Angel, and a couple of people who I am not sure of. The game took place on Nike Field in Sara D. Roosevelt Park in Chinatown. In this scene, we see play continue. Halfway through the video, Baron Davis tries to defend Thierry Henry, and ends up getting schooled by Henry, who then passes the ball off to a teammate who in turn passes the ball to Robbie Fowler (I think), who drives it home for a goal. At this point in the game, the yellow team is winning 6-2. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on June 25th, 2008.

The game took place on Nike Field in Sara D. Roosevelt Park in Chinatown. In this scene, as the ball goes out of bounds, Baron Davis goes over to a person in the crowd and shakes their hand. Then, as play moves down to the other end of the field, Baron hangs back and smiles for my camera and the clowns around with some of the onlookers who were hanging on to the fence. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on June 25th, 2008.
