#Liverpool #LFC - Sport
I don´t know if its appropriate for a madridista to interject here but Macca is still loved and admired in the Bernabeu. He broke the curse on english players at Real.
Macca & Robbie my first LFC heroes. Pure energy
Snap
I absolutely love these podcasts. It's like we are in the room too, just having a chat. Up the Reds.
Macca is a legend, when he came into the first team like a ray of sunshine. Tricky and skilful, exciting, we watched him grow from a skinny kid to a skinny man and a world class talent. Ynwa
Legend. My footballing hero when i first started watching Liverpool properly. The guy was a wizard, and his linkup with Fowler was up there with the best partnerships.
Enjoyed that - Macca and Robbie were an absolute joy to watch on the pitch.
Naturally gifted. So casual. That was our Shaggy, always played with a smile on his face.
Have to agree, that Roy Evans team with Redknapp, Barnes, Fowler, McManaman, Rush, Jones, Matteo and even David Thompson was so easy to support, and the football was so flowing - it's a shame they didn't win that infamous FA Cup but that's sport.
Matteo and Thompson not world class
They did just not with Evans
A brilliant footballer and a fantastic attitude to his career. Thanks guys, another excellent podcast.
Steve McManaman, my favourite liverpool player from the premier league era (yes even above Stevie, Fernando, Luis Suarez, Mikey and God, plus Robertson and Jurgen's champs), and 2nd fave all time, only to King Kenny. Loved watching him play, so direct, and exciting, didn't lose the ball. Destroyed teams with his running for Liverpool, and made the Galacticos tick in the hugest of games later in his career. So intelligent. Should have been picked to start for England throughout his Pool and Madrid career, a no brainer. A crime that he was not. He's right about that Evans 90's team, they were fantastic to watch, probably just a Carragher or Van Dijk and an Allisson short of being the best team in the land. And I love how upbeat he is and always has a fresh perspective. Loved how during the pandemic he made the point that Liverpool shouldn't spend millions, that that would be a slap in the face to those struggling, obscene. He said it better than me. Right or wrong, I think those little insights are gold.
And it's funny to me that recently Liverpool have signed a player, the first to ever remind me of Macca. A long way to go before he could be mentioned in the same breath, but... Luis Diaz, great to see him running strong, proud, committed, skillful, touch, little lay offs, goals. It took me a while to notice, but then suddenly "hey, he's a bit like Macca!"
Thanks Steve, you were the best, I loved every second :) YNWA
Massively underrated. They often, before Gareth Bale, give him the moniker "the most successful British export." Sure. But actually, it wasn't about what he won, it was was about how he played.
i am a everton fan from toxteth i went to school with fowler st pats and nugent he was on another level even asa child he was that good
Hated macca for years even upto today for leaving us on a free, I couldn't get my head around him leaving us i was 14 when he left.
Didn't know all that about his mum being ill and passing away etc I'm sure she would be mega proud of his career, terrific player.
Money Money Money. His only motive.
@@jimhunter5348 to be fair, not just that - he was offered a chance to play for real madrid and they were an incredible side he went on to win two champions leagues and league titles with madrid!
@@s1dew1nd3r4 No problem with that. The problem for supporters is that he ran his contract down. Money Money Money. Admit it. You can’t have it all ways - he was a mercenary. Some players have personal class - he hasn’t now or then.
@@jimhunter5348 ridiculous comment...
@@jimhunter5348 trophies too!!
Shaggy was a great player. The nearest we had to John Barnes in terms of being able to run with the ball. The solo goals against Bolton and Celtic would still be talked about if it was Messi.
This is the best series of football interviews I’ve ever heard/watched👏👏
Well done Steve I met you in Hale Barns Cheshire about 10 years inside a DIY store and said happy you went to Madrid You smiled
Liverpool and Everton pray on the local kids It is a business and Steve did well Keegan was the same There is a life outside Liverpool and a better lifestyle Well done Steve
I fell in love with Liverpool FC in 1986..I've seen some of the best reds players ever lived and I must say Steve Mcnamanan is and will always be my favorite player
Macca and God were my childhood idols. My two favourite players growing up. The reason I still love the club today is because of you guys
I hated football as a kid everyone just wanted to play it then I watched the Worthington cup final and these two made me fall in love with the game
Love this, funny, heartwarming, interesting banter. Real feel good stuff.
What a person and what a player mcmanaman was.
Brilliant video. Both legends.
Dear Macca! You certainly did put a smile on me face! You and RF9 were the reason I loved Liverpool! I was and still am a proud Liverpool fan because we once had you playing for us!
Loved watching these pair play, being born in 84 They definitely had an influence on me becoming a football fan even as a villa fan
What a player. What a man. That '95 cup final. Thanks for everything Steve, would like to thank you in person one day.
Robbie Fowler is the reason why I support Liverpool! It was one of the best decisions I've made in my life!
still sad that macca leaves the club...but im happy to see your achievement abroad....
you are the reason i love Liverpool FC so much till this day...
He definitely entertained. Tremendous player. The main man in my youth.
still have my 90's Carlsberg jersey with McManaman 17 on the back
So glad this has come a long never knew the back ground in when he left what a player as Zidane described him as one the best
Love McManaman, Love Fowler 👊
I love Steve McMananman. His name was the first ever players name I got on the back of a shirt, the original Ecru Reebok away shirt. Highly under rated as a player at Liverpool by the fans & I can't understand why. Steve McMananan you are a legend in my eyes YNWA
I still have that short too ;)
I've got so many shirts majority Fowler I really wanted a macca shirt.
Fowler signed one.
But he was giving me stick and then signed it and was saying
"I just wrote on your shirt what you gunna do"
I had no idea about signatures back then and tried to wash it off 😭
This is a superb series - every episode has been brilliant😍
Robbie is God. Felt terrible when Macca left us back in the day, but i still love the lad. YNWA
Gotta get Stevie G on this ❤🎉
I’m sure they’ll have Stevie lined up, along with Sir ‘King’ Kenny, Carra, Barnsey, Rushie, Souness, even Stevie Nicol, Keegan, and hopefully Hansen, plus many, many more. Embarrassment of world class ex players, just so many greats from the mid 60’s, but especially the 70’s and 80’s plus many from the 90’s, and the new millennium onwards.
Edit, sorry, Barnes has already been on… another one to watch. Prefer listening to ex players, as they have had the time and space to put things into perspective and not worry about keeping themselves in the mentality of ‘one game at a time’ and ‘the only important match is the next one’ which ex players are free from.
'yeah of course'.... He does not interview well. Stevie G great player but dull as dishwater.
@@nigefal I'd watch it though, wouldn't anyone that surfers with insomnia. I'm off now, going to look for a faithless song.
Love this conversation
This man is the reason I fell in love with Liverpool
I still use the numbers 23 and 17 in my lotto picks cos of these two lads
@@CidersAndReligiousCrusades are you living prior 2020?
Loved Macca growing up, you will be remembered for the exact reasons you said at the end for me.
I love the Liverpool banter... Alan from Ireland
I wish these were longer!
My first anfield visit was Stan's first game ... Robbie, I imagine, will always be my favorite football player ... hope he's a great landlord too ;) x
Same here as a 7 year old!
@@kinell188 hey brother :) heheh
Enjoyed it 👏
I wish these two kings of Liverpool were playing now imagine that wow YNWA
As a former Kop season ticket holder i saw these two play many times
I get a lot of stick for being a Liverpool fan from Essex but I'm 34 now and I fell in love with Liverpool because of how they played with guys like Macca and Robbie in the team back when I was a kid
I am happy he spoke up. I was one of those fans who felt betrayed when he left on free transfer. Continue to support him.
He needed to win trophies. How many did he win at Liverpool? Klopp has won a Champions League but he has also lost two UCL finals and a UEFA Cup Final - people remember these things when they look back at the record books. Shame Macca didn't get a European Championship under his belt with England too ... that agonising slide in towards goal in the 6-yard box from Gazza ... every time you watch it you think it's going in
Fav player growing up cemented my love for LFC!
Her whene i start to fans off liverpool,godbless u steve
I will always always love McManaman. Don't agree with every single one of his views, but my god he was some fucking baller. Genius. And a lovely guy when I met him.
Great talk,loved Shaggy,,I've got a match shirt of Stevie off big Neville Southall,,,match worn signed by all the lfc boys of the 96,,,,when the lads signed there names and you could read it gods on the shirt and Michael Owen ,,,,great days
Great watch this!
Legend!
No one that was born from 1994/5 onwards would understand how different class this guy was in the 90s early Ryan giggs was the only other....he was immense. Its no mistake he ended up in one of the most legendary european teams of the last 25 years and won 2 champion leagues.
I agree with Graeme Souness when he said that when he returned to Liverpool as manager, it was the wrong time, by his own addmitance he made many mistakes and his bull in a china shop approach didn't work with the seasoned pro's. However, had he been given the managers role a few years later, his role might have been just what they needed, he would have instiled dicipline when it was needed.
As someone who was too young to remember him playing and doesn’t really rate him as a pundit or commentator, this has really helped me warm to him.
I’ve seen his goal compilations and the old season reviews and he was obviously class but I always just thought of him as someone who had his success elsewhere and never really classed him as a Liverpool legend.
I love how scouse he is on this as he doesn't sound like this on BT Sports as commentator. Amazing Podcast as usual Can u get Stevie next? Also id love to hear from Grobbelaar, Torres, Suarez and Roy Evans!
Well, that was easy 40 minutes. Always good to hear Macca!
I remember this player he play in Madrid with gutti and Makelele time fly liverpoooool this summer need to buy 4 great players like mane and swarez
Best one yet tha. Boss
What a great player Macca was, what a great guy he is
I will never forget Macca running with the ball, or deciding to leave for free.
Lmfaoooooo this sent me
and not taking on a man for the last 18 months. But he's a legend apparently. Nice lad though - just trying too hard at times to reinvent history.
MACCA n GOD 😁,Euro 96 MACCA THAT goal in the CL final 😳😘 and just the whole LFC package ❤ great great times
i’m 51 and MACCA YNWA 🙂.
Idolaku. Sehat selalu orang hebat. YNWA
I reckon the outtakes amd what was left out would make a great episode for adults only 😂
…played against Macca with school…other big players in our school year were Joey Murray & Vinnie Meskell,..
Course you did
Rob jones would be a good guest, id like to hear his story.
Yeah the joint manager thing was weird , it just smelt of to weak to actually sack Roy and replace him with Gerard H. I now fully understand why he left. Fantastic player. Really enjoying these interviews. Cheers.
What a player, great example of Liverpool's legacy.
A sustainable plan for a club would be to bring the academy coaches into the first team alongside the players that graduate.
No more hiring super managers, but an escalator system instead.
For example,
Klopp would be replaced by Alex inglethorpe as his youth team emerge into the first team.
Favourite footballer of the 90s El Macca
Good player macca , him along with John Barnes , but my fav as a kid was Peter Thompson. ( king of the wing)…
Macca was two wingers and a support striker in one player. That free role he played was devastating to the opposition
Engrossing, entertaining, insightful, funny, sad, subscribing
Remember my brother playing for villa reserves against Liverpool at anfield and coming home and saying he had played against a superstar , it was macca
Macca was a great servant to LFC. I was gutted when he left for Real Madrid but I can understand why he made the choice. Always a Anfield great in my eyes … that goal against Celtic in the UEFA Cup though ! 😮😮
Legends 💯♥️👍
Mcmanaman great guy 💯
There was the perception before McManaman moved to Madrid that he was a bit of headless chicken - one I believed at the time!.
And as a result many were surprised with how well he did. But I was thinking that the style of play in Spain must have suited him more. Less helter skelter more technical stuff. I suppose another reason why McManaman was a success abroad, is that he clearly very level headed.
رمضان مبارك علي الجميع ❤😊
Is this the same Macca who left Liverpool on a Bosman?
I'd love Mcca advise for Curtis Jones. I can see some similarities there.
Helo i'm Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏
Macca gave in his all in his final season for LFC
Macca class player for Liverpool for us YNWA!
Macca needs to be a bit more of a red in his punditry, I like he is none biased, but he goes in hard.
Macca was amazing for us, he was the main man for me during the 90's knitting midfield with attack. Was gutted when he left for Madrid, but delighted he was a success there.
😊😊❤❤
🔴❤️
Love macca 👍👍👍
Always loved Macca. Legend. Hope this interview puts to bed that rubbish about calling him a mercenary. So he left. Players do. Seems like a top guy.
His INGS grind my gears
Playing in the rec on the gravel pitch
We are skint should be our new phrase.
Or next year we’ll sign some world class midfielders.
Sort it out
Can you add digger to this 👌🏽
I loved Macca but lately on BT it feels like hates Liverpool.
My team
What a player Shaggy.
Around 33:57 robbie says obviously 4 times in 5 seconds
Ramadan Mubarak🎉
Nice to see maccas toned down his jarg posh accent for this interview 😂
