- "He had great pace and skill and wasn't afraid to take defenders on and beat them. I love to see that in a player, and so do the fans.” (Pelé about Steve McManaman)

Back in the late 90’s at Liverpool, many managers in the PL were so focused on stopping McManaman and him only, as he was the driving force behind that great team. Supremely underrated by those that didn’t watch him.
The quality of players was so much higher then than now.
Various Utd players from the 90s era have since said that no one inspired more fear in Alex Ferguson than McManaman. Apparently, they would be wary of other top players like Shearer, Wright, Ginola, etc...but McManaman was the one Ferguson would devote entire team talks to.
Such an underrated player. Macca would run past players for fun. I think the fact that he looked so casual and not built like a typical footballer meant he has been often overlooked as one of the all time greats.
We don't forget him in Spain. A pleasure to watch and a true gentleman,
Close to the best player in the prem around 1995-97
I always loved him. He was immense at Madrid. He had the balls to play and succeed outside of England.
He played huge role in euro 96 team hugely underrated in my opinion, what winger in youngs day powerful fast, technically awesome, classy
I'm a Real Madrid fan and have great memories of him. Outstanding and a fantastic player .
He is one of the best dribblers I've ever seen.
Wow, the goal at 3:07 is pure insanity.
What a player. Would be a nightmare to defend. Liverpool and Real Madrid legend.
YNWA Macca
it was against my team Celtic in the UEFA Cup. Even more important for Liverpool cos it was scored near the end of the match to make it 2-2 at Celtic park.
Great player and a rare English success at a top foreign club, his dribbling style (quite similar to Robert Pires) and overall look were somehow very 'continental'.
I remember when I was a child in school, he was one of my favorites.
It was such a joy to watch him play.
Never missed a Real Madrid game, then I would go out to play, trying to imitate his runs 😂😂😂.
We was like ( at school ) hey hey do you know Mcmananananaman LOLLLLLL
Smart, Speed, Intelligent, very good skills, IQ high, efficient and spectacular.
Very good player this Steve Mcmanaman. Respect for him✅👍
England can to be pround of him✅👍
Thank's for the video✅👍
My favourite Liverpool player as a kid , a maverick
Ian Callaghan, Matt Le Tissier, Steve Bruce, Steve McManaman, Andy Cole, Rob Jones, Robbie Fowler.
England oh England oh why oh my
Steve Mcnamanan and Ryan Giggs. Miss those days..
Great player, aslo great song !
Brilliant player would be even better today as you can't tackle . Greatness
En Madrid se te aprecia Mcmanaman!
Another world class footballer England didn’t utilise enough. Terry venables was the only manager who got the best out of him
2:26 🤯🤯🤯
The streets will never forget Steve McManaman
I miss players who ran and dribbled past defenders.
An absolute brilliant player very underrated I think deceptively quick an skillful his passing n vision was good aswell yes 👏
Wahouuuuuu best football video of my life mcmanaman + oasis perfect match
Legend🔥🔥⚽️⚽️
He was a Legend ,skillful,so fast,tireless dribbler unfortunately at late 90s early 2000s his speed and game decreased.
A True Euro 96 and especially Liverpool Legend.
Gran giocatore.
Growin'up he was LE brit' player to me: incredible pace..composure and vivid talent!!❤
Most sucessfull England player in Real Madrid
Nahhh it is michael owen
@@sa.1979 Michael Owen didn't do a damn thing at Real Madrid except get injured. Steve won 2 Champions League with Real Madrid
@@sa.1979 Beckham was better with Real, but not as good as Macca
@@Honeybarbecuepumpum at least he knew how to score
@@sa.1979 steve scored in a ucl final, to WIN it! that's enough.
what a player he was
Cam lw rw lm rm ❤
Legend!
Madrid loves Maca
5:13 absolute beauty
The best!
I came from FIFA 24
me encantaba stevyyyy !!!
English coaches were married to the flat 4 4 2 formation thus choosing to use him as a winger and not an attacking midfielder. This affected his international career greatly
They could play him with other target man or second striker
He's a winger
@@bryanleeyf87 He could play on the wing but he was best at attacking midfield
That's not entirely true. Venables was playing 4411/4321/3142 attacking but defended in a 442. Hoddle played 3412 and Scholes was used in Macca's role that he was doing under Roy Evans. Keegan was making up stuff as he went along but he did play 352 sometimes. Sven was the only true 442 man.
Young Macca who was MotM in the 92 FA Cup final and the 95 League Cup finals was more of a winger up til 96. Then, under Evans and up until Real signed Zidane signed Macca was more of a central player who occasional played on the wing.
@@KuntyMcPhuck I can't disagree. I always saw him having a greater influence playing AM.
As a Newcastle fan -- I still have nightmares about this guy. But what a player. Modern footballers are perhaps fitter and more athletic, but the players of this era would annihilate a good modern side. The best Barça sides would let the ball do the work -- but why let the ball do the work, when players like Mcmanaman could just go past players and draw defenders towards him, unlocking teams. Ironically - it was probably Michael Owen's acceleration and pace that forever changed the English recruitment system of players. These things will come full circle again, I am sure. Little wonder English sides look abroad so often for skilled players now. Some of the best players that have existed probably never played at the highest level in English football because they didn't score high enough on a bleep test, or showed too much "character" in the dressing room.
One the best liverpool players of the 90s, you can see why real madrid bought him.
Bossman rule
fast and creative 🥇
He was like the second coming of Kenny Dalglish seemed a yard quicker than most players and had an eye for goal
👏👏👏👏
MCMANAMANNNN
Smart player
McManaman seems to have had a wide, evasive dribbling style on the one hand, but also aimed for short passes on the other. If he had played longer on the continent, he would have been able to harmonize his game more.
What about his fighting skills with Grobbelaar
One of my favourite players I’m a spurs fan
I love him at Real Madrid! Hala Madrid. 😀
A video on Robben ?
Pedri reminds me of him for some reason
So distractin thhat this is the intro music for SNATCH... what is the song called?
So...Paul Scholes next?
Anyone know what tune this is?
I don't know the first song , but the second song is an instrumental of Placebo's Bitter End
Fuckin in the bushes oasis
Now you’ve done a scouser you have to balance it out with a manc and do scholes
Still the only anomaly of English footballers 😂
No one is really play like Macca. Absolutely no one
Fine player, trouble was though at international level he never delivered and that is a great shame.
He was never used properly. If past England managers weren’t so stuck up on the 4-4-2, he would’ve flourished.
@@relentero8547 Nah, it was an attitude problem. He was part of a group of Liverpool players called the 'Spice boys' who seemed more interested in partying than winning things. He wasn't the only one though, Fowler never reproduced his club form for his country either.
@@kebabtank But he flourished at Liverpool and RM, where he ended up winning trophies. Those teams had fluid systems that allowed McManaman to attack more, at least compared to the 4-4-2 systems
Bollocks he was named in the Euro96 team of the tournament
88 DRIBBLING LOL. TRY 95 MIN
Better than Gerard
Waiting for some idiot who have never watched him play calling him underrated.
